Varun Beverages Q1 results
The company reported a 5.1 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) rise in consolidated net profit to ₹1,317 crore for the quarter ended June 2025, up from ₹1,253 crore in the same period last year.
The beverage maker saw its revenue decline 2.5 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹7,017 crore, compared to ₹7,197 crore a year ago. However, operating performance remained steady, with Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) inching up 0.4 per cent to ₹1,999 crore, from ₹1,991 crore.
Ebitda margin improved to 28.5 per cent, against 27.7 per cent last year, aided by cost efficiencies and improved product mix.
The company ended the quarter with a positive profit, despite a decline in consolidated sales volumes, driven by growth in international markets, which was supported by strong positive currency movement in African territories, Ravi Jaipuria, chairman at Varun Beverages, said.
"Although unseasonal rains have impacted performance during the quarter, we have successfully navigated such challenges in the past and emerged stronger. We continue to strengthen our on-ground execution by adding more visi-coolers and ensuring wider product availability across retail touchpoints," Jaipuria said.
The company's board also approved a second interim dividend of 25 per cent of face value, i.e., ₹0.50 per share, according to the statement. This would result in a total cash outflow of approximately ₹169.1 crore.
Varun Beverages acquires 50% stake in Everest Industrial Lanka
The company also said that it acquired a 50 per cent equity stake in Everest Industrial Lanka Pvt. Ltd, a Sri Lankan company, engaged in the business of production, manufacturing, distribution and selling of commercial visi-coolers and related accessories.

Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend four shares to buy today — 5 July 2025
Stocks to buy under ₹ 100: On Monday, the Indian stock market registered a relief rally on broad-based buying. The Nifty 50 index went up 157 points and closed at 24,722, the BSE Sensex surged 418 points and finished at 81,018, while the Bank Nifty index ended marginally higher at 55,619. Hero Motocorp, Tata Steel and Adani Ports led the charge among the Nifty's top performers. Conversely, it was a particularly tough session for Power Grid Corporation of India, HDFC Bank, and ONGC, which ended as the major losers within the Nifty pack. Trading volumes on the NSE cash market were lower by 12% compared to Friday, the lowest since 07 July. The widespread buying interest across sectors clearly showed the market's improved sentiment. Barring Nifty FMCG, which ended marginally in the red, all other sectoral indices closed the day in the green. The gains were robust in Nifty Metal, Realty, Auto, and IT, which all ended as major gainers, indicating a broad-based return of confidence among investors. On the outlook of the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "Investors now await key global macro data – including US Services and Manufacturing PMI due today – along with Q1 results 2025 from Bharti Airtel, Adani Ports, Prestige Estates, Bharti Hexacom, and Lupin, which are likely to drive stock-specific action ahead of the RBI's policy outcome." Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 index, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The negative chart pattern, like lower tops and bottoms, remains intact on the daily chart. After the formation of a new lower bottom on Monday at 24535, Nifty is expected to form a new lower top around 24850-24900 levels in the short term, which could be a sell-on-rise opportunity. Immediate support is placed at 24550." Askeda bout the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The Bank Nifty index, overall, remained sluggish, hovering near the 55,500 zone, and has been moving within a tight range for some time, resisting near the 50-DEMA level of 56,072 and having crucial support near the 55,000 level. As mentioned earlier, the index needs to move past the important hurdle of the 56,100 level to establish conviction and confirm a directional move further ahead."

The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open on a cautious note today amid US President Donald Trump's higher tariffs threat, despite upbeat global market cues. The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a tepid start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 24,757 level, a discount of nearly 37 points from the Nifty futures' previous close. On Monday, the domestic equity market ended higher, with the Nifty 50 closing above 24,700 level.

According to Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research at Kotak Securities, the market in the short term is 'weak, but oversold', adding that 'a sharp technical bounce back is not ruled out from the current levels. For day traders, 80,600 and 80,500 would act as key support zones for Sensex, while 81,500 - 81,800 could be the key resistance areas for the bulls.' He however felt that below 80,500, 'the sentiment could change, and traders may prefer to exit their long positions'. Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.
