HUL’s margin — a key measure of profitability for a business — is pegged at 23 per cent for the March quarter, having declined by 100 basis points compared with the year-ago period, according to the research.

According to the research, a 5-6% growth is expected in volumes, which is likely to be driven by demand in urban centres. The demand in rural areas is expected to fall by 4-5%. 

The research highlights that EBITDA margins will be under pressure as the company has cut prices of certain products.
