what happened
Hindustan Unilever, the Indian subsidiary of the UK group Unilever, said on Wednesday that its quarterly profit climbed 6%. Strong consumer demand helped it absorb the pressure from pricier raw materials.
In the three months to September 30, the company earned 28.44 billion rupees ($299.01 million), up from 26.9 billion rupees a year earlier, according to Reuters. The company sells well-known brands including Pepsodent and Dove.
why it matters
The results suggest consumer demand in India held up even as input costs rose, so investors will watch whether the company can protect its margins. The sum was converted at 95.1150 rupees to the dollar.
