Hindustan Unilever Ld.’s Q2 FY25 results were marginally below our estimates, as performance in personal care and food and refreshments segments was below our expectations.

Personal care saw a mid-single-digit revenue decline, given the pricing correction during early FY25, whereas adverse weather conditions (for ice cream) and downtrading (for tea) continue to impact the F&R segment.
