July 28, 07:09

On July 28, financial reports for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2027 (Q1FY27) are scheduled to be released by several major companies. Among them are Larsen & Toubro, Hindustan Unilever, Varun Beverages, Ambuja Cements, Suzlon Energy, Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company, Birlasoft, Tata Capital, Pine Labs, The Phoenix Mills, Pfizer, DCM Shriram, Netweb Technologies India, Shilchar Technologies, Radico Khaitan, as well as many other firms.

Hindustan Unilever Results Overview

Hindustan Unilever (HUL) is expected to show stable performance for the period April-June 2027. Analysts polled by Business Standard predict a revenue growth of 7–10% year-on-year for the FMCG giant. This growth will be driven by a 5–7% increase in volumes and a trend towards premiumization. Meanwhile, net profit is likely to increase by 9–10%, and the operating margin should remain stable at around 23%. Investors will closely monitor management commentary regarding demand in rural and urban areas, competitive intensity across various categories, and raw material price dynamics.

Forecast for Larsen & Toubro

Regarding Larsen & Toubro (L&T), a mixed picture is anticipated for April-June 2027. The company's growth will be constrained by project execution issues in West Asia, linked to the conflict between the US and Iran. Business Standard experts suggest that core revenue from EPC projects in engineering and construction will grow by approximately 6% year-over-year. However, total revenue volume is likely to remain in single digits due to rising costs and macroeconomic difficulties. Furthermore, investor attention will focus on reports concerning operations in West Asia, which accounts for about a third of the company's revenue and order book, as well as the prospects of domestic infrastructure projects.

Market Situation Overview

In early trading on Tuesday, Indian stock indices saw a slight rise. The improved investor sentiment was attributed to falling oil prices and signs of progress in negotiations between the US and Iran. By 9:21 AM, the Sensex index rose by 141.32 points, representing 0.18% at 76,977.10. Simultaneously, the Nifty50 increased by 31.90 points, or 0.13%, reaching 24,027.85. Leaders in the Nifty50 growth included Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, and Infosys. Nevertheless, the broader market performed worse compared to the main indices: the Nifty MidCap and Nifty SmallCap indices fell by 0.13% and 0.08%, respectively.

Infosys, the second-largest IT services company in India, will present its first-quarter results. Analysts surveyed by Business Standard predict that the Bengaluru-based company will report double-digit revenue growth of 12–15 percent. This growth is expected to be driven by an increase in deal volume, acquisitions, and improved demand in key sectors. The operating margin is anticipated to remain stable at 21.3–23.3 percent, while net profit is expected to rise to over 8100 crore rupees, an increase of 17 percent year-on-year.

Key Highlights from Eternal

Eternal's performance for the April-June quarter was supported by strong growth in the quick retail business Blinkit, which offset the decline in profitability compared to the previous period. Parent company Zomato and Blinkit recorded a threefold increase in net profit to 92 crore rupees in Q1FY27 compared to 25 crore rupees the previous year, attributed to a low base and improved operational metrics. Nevertheless, profit decreased by 47 percent compared to 174 crore rupees in the previous quarter. Revenue grew almost threefold year-on-year, reaching 20,211 crore rupees compared to 7,167 crore rupees, and also increased compared to 17,292 crore rupees in the January to March quarter. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased by 223 percent year-on-year to 555 crore rupees and by 29 percent compared to the previous quarter.

Market Overview on July 23

Indian stock indices opened lower on Tuesday due to rising oil prices and escalating tensions in the Middle East, negatively impacting investor sentiment. By 9:19 AM, the Nifty50 index fell by 100 points, or 0.42 percent, to 23,896.50, while the Sensex declined by 302 points, or 0.39 percent, to 76,453.42. Major losers on the Nifty50 included Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Nestle India, and Infosys. Broader markets also faced pressure: the Nifty MidCap and Nifty SmallCap indices fell by 0.54 percent and 0.75 percent, respectively. The pharmaceutical, construction, and healthcare sectors showed the largest lag, while the FMCG and automotive sectors demonstrated better performance.
