Bajaj Consumer Care Ltd.’s share price surged over 15 per cent to hit 52-week high on strong performance in the March quarter of FY26, the company’s profit more than doubled to Rs 64 crore compared with Rs 31 crore in Q4FY25. The sharp growth in bottom line was driven by higher revenues and improved operating efficiency during the quarter.
Revenue for the quarter rose to Rs 327 crore, up from Rs 251 crore in the same period last year, reflecting better demand conditions and improved execution. The top-line growth translated into a sharp improvement in operating performance, with the company reporting a significant jump in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.
EBITDA for Q4FY26 came in at Rs 77 crore, more than double the Rs 32 crore reported a year ago. This led to a notable expansion in operating margins, which improved to 23.4 per cent from 12.7 per cent in Q4FY25.
On a year‑to‑date basis, Bajaj Consumer shares are up 77.19 per cent in 2026 so far, while the Nifty 50 has declined 7.04 per cent during the same period. On a one‑year basis, the stock has delivered a massive 170.84 per cent return, outperforming the index’s modest 1.90 per cent rise.
Longer‑term returns also highlight Bajaj Consumer’s solid track record. Over three years, the stock has climbed 200.35 per cent, above the Nifty 50’s 37.26 per cent gain. However, on a five‑year basis, returns have been more measured, with Bajaj Consumer up 53.76 per cent, slightly trailing the Nifty’s 66.27 per cent, indicating that the sharp acceleration in performance has been a relatively recent phenomenon.
