RSI neutral across timeframes avoids overbought exhaustion, while MACD\/KST remain mildly bearish on weekly\/monthly charts signaling potential consolidation before next leg up. Recent 2.95% gain to \u20b9735+ with 12.41% OI surge (4,353 contracts added) indicates fresh long buildup rather than short covering. Support at pivot \u20b9735-\u20b9714 holds firm; breakdown risks pullback to 50DMA, but upside targets \u20b9765 (52-week high) then \u20b9800 on volume confirmation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fundamental Analysis:<br \/>\n<\/strong>FY25 TTM shows revenue \u20b911,447 Cr (12.2% YoY), EBITDA \u20b92,367 Cr (8.26% YoY), net profit \u20b91,669 Cr (9.99% YoY) with healthy ROE 39.56% and ROA 20.68%. Q2FY26 net profit dipped marginally to \u20b9432 Cr due to commodity inflation and high base, but revenue grew 30.7% QoQ reflecting volume recovery in staples\/haircare. Strong 3-year sales\/assets growth with net margins ~14.58%; debt-to-equity low at 0.13 supports scalability in premium hair oils and foods. Valuation at ~58x PE appears stretched versus sector, but consistent dividend history and diversified portfolio (Parachute, Saffola, Livon) justify premium.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reasons for Recent Bullish Movement:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Stock surged ~15% YTD outperforming Sensex by 5%, fueled by Q2 revenue beat (19.38% QoQ), domestic volume growth in rural recovery, and premiumization in haircare\/foods. Derivatives data shows bullish positioning with price+OI rise confirming fresh longs amid FMCG sector resilience against market volatility. Technical shift from mildly bearish to bullish (daily MAs\/Bollinger) plus relative strength vs. peers triggered momentum buying near 52-week highs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upcoming News &amp; Events:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Q3FY26 results board meeting scheduled for 14 Nov 2025 (already passed \u2013 positive revenue guidance expected); next Q4 earnings ~Feb 2026 critical for margin trajectory. Potential acquisition talks for protein startup Cosmix (Dec 2025 news) to boost health foods portfolio, likely positive for diversification. Goldman Sachs India Consumer Forum (1 Dec 2025) and other investor meets could provide management guidance on rural demand\/inflation outlook.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Micro View:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Short-term: Bullish structure intact above \u20b9735 support; buy dips targeting \u20b9765-\u20b9800 with RSI room for 10% upside before weekly MACD confirmation needed.<br \/>\nMedium-term: Q3 results catalyst; sustained OI buildup favors 850+ if volumes hold, but commodity inflation risks 10% correction to 200DMA \u20b9650 zone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Macro View:<br \/>\n<\/strong>FMCG sector benefits from rural revival, premiumization tailwinds, and urban health trends amid moderating inflation; Marico&#8217;s 70%+ domestic revenue positioned for 10-12% CAGR. Global edible oil volatility and competition from HUL\/Dabur pose risks, but PLI-like schemes for staples and export push to MENA\/SA provide multi-year buffers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disclaimer &amp; Disclosure:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Investogainer Research (SEBI Reg.
