Are Whirlpool India latest results good or bad?

Whirlpool of India has reported its financial results for the quarter ending June 2025, highlighting several key operational metrics. The company achieved an operating profit (PBDIT) of Rs 211.13 crore, which is the highest in the last five quarters. This positive trend is also reflected in the profit after tax (PAT), which reached Rs 145.73 crore, marking the highest figure in the same timeframe. Additionally, the earnings per share (EPS) stood at Rs 11.49, indicating enhanced earnings for shareholders.
On the liquidity front, Whirlpool India reported cash and cash equivalents of Rs 2,559.66 crore, the highest in the last six half-yearly periods, suggesting an improvement in short-term liquidity. However, there was a notable rise in non-operating income, which reached Rs 54.07 crore, the highest in five quarters. This increase raises questions about the sustainability of such income sources.

In terms of year-over-year performance, net sales experienced a decline of 2.58% compared to a growth of 22.48% in the previous year. Similarly, consolidated net profit showed a modest growth of 1.33%, down from 92.07% in the prior year. Furthermore, the company saw an adjustment in its evaluation over the past three months, indicating potential challenges ahead.

Overall, while Whirlpool India has demonstrated strong financial metrics in certain areas, the decline in sales growth and net profit growth compared to the previous year suggests that the company may face some operational challenges moving forward.
