Six years as shareholder of Dabur

There is really nothing for me to write about my investment in Dabur. Just like D Mart, the journey has been a painful one. The XIRR (Figure 1) has snaked around the 0% value on the X axis since last six years and as of today it stands at -4.2%. In contrast the Nifty Next 50—of which Dabur is part of—is at an impressive 19.1%. In fact, in the last six years Dabur has unperformed Nifty Next 50 for 5 years.

I have continuously increased my investment in Dabur (Figure 2) year on year since FY 2019-20 and stopping all investments from FY 2024-25 onwards. 

On dividends, Dabur’s dividend yield at cost (Figure 3) has shown an upwards trends and now stands at 1% for FY 2024-25.
