There are several stocks that are in focus after the announcement of their quarterly business updates. Investors would watch out for share prices of Trent, Godrej Consumer, Axis Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank in trade on October 6.
A quick look at the details why these stocks would be in focus.
The Trent share price is in focus after the company’s standalone revenue for Q2 grew 23% year-on-year to Rs 5,788 crore.
Trent’s revenue in the first half of FY27 was up 21% YoY at Rs 11,454 crore, it said in an update on Monday, October 5. Trent’s revenue from sale of merchandise, excluding other operating income, also grew by 23% for Q2 and 21% in the first half of the year.
The company net opened 10 Westside stores in Q2 and 17 Zudio stores.
Godrej Consumer expects to deliver a “strong” performance in Q2 despite consumption being impacted by uneven monsoon amid an intensifying El-Nino and inflationary pressures across commodity-linked inputs, it said Monday.
The share price of Godrej Consumer will be in focus as the company expects to report consolidated revenue growth in “high-teens” for the quarter and “high-single-digit” underlying volume growth. It also projected a double-digit growth in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation, EBITDA, for the quarter.
“Our Standalone business is expected to deliver revenue growth in the teens and high-single-digit underlying volume growth, despite an estimated impact of approximately 100–150 basis points from trade inventory correction,” the company said. This will be supported by healthy growth across its personal care and home care portfolios.
The company said it remains on track to deliver the full year guidance, with the confidence to exceed its outlook in select areas.
