Latest Stock News:
On April 23, 2025, Havells India’s share price dropped by 5% to ₹1,583.40. This happened despite the company having good results for Q4. The reason for the drop was that the management gave a cautious outlook. They said demand for cooling products like air conditioners (ACs) would be weak. This is because the summer started off mild, especially in South India. As a result, some brokerage firms changed their earnings estimates. Kotak Institutional Equities lowered its target price to ₹1,400. They also kept a ‘Sell’ rating on the stock. Equirus Securities also lowered its target price to ₹1,967. But Equirus kept a ‘Buy’ rating, saying there could be challenges in the short term. In March and April, air conditioner sales slowed down in South India. This made investors worried about the company’s performance in the first quarter. However, sales are still strong in other regions like West and Central India. Havells is hopeful for the future, especially because its air conditioner brand, Lloyd, is still investing in growth. For Q4 FY25, Havells showed strong results. The net profit increased by 15.73% to ₹517 crore. The revenue from operations grew by 20.24% to ₹6,543.56 crore, compared to ₹5,442.02 crore in the same quarter last year. For the whole financial year, Havells’ net profit increased by 15.7%, reaching ₹1,470.24 crore. Revenue grew by 17.21% to ₹22,081.33 crore. Even though the company did well, the weak demand for cooling products caused the stock price to fall. This shows how the market reacts to both good results and worries about future demand.
