This decline follows the announcement that Jyothy Labs will not renew its licensing agreements for the dishwashing brand Pril and personal care brand Fa with Henkel, effective May 31, 2026. The decision ends a nearly 15-year partnership between the two companies and has prompted Jyothy Labs to shift its focus towards its owned brands, particularly Exo, which competes in the dishwashing category. The company, which acquired Henkel's India consumer business in 2011, operates several brands under fixed-term licenses while maintaining perpetual licenses for others. Currently, Jyothy Labs has a market capitalization of ₹8,300.88 crore and is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 26.14. The stock is also below all eight of its key simple moving averages, indicating a bearish trend.
