Recent Price Movement and Market Context
The stock’s fall to Rs.222.15 represents a notable drop from its 52-week high of Rs.372.85, underscoring a year-long decline of 33.80%. This contrasts sharply with the broader Sensex, which has delivered a positive return of 8.39% over the same timeframe. Despite the stock’s underperformance, it marginally outperformed its sector today by 0.72%, even as the Sensex recovered from an early negative opening to close 0.19% higher at 81,691.65 points.
Technical indicators reveal that Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd is trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day marks. This positioning suggests a prevailing bearish sentiment among market participants, with the stock lagging behind both short-term and long-term trend lines.
Financial Performance and Profitability Trends
Over the last five years, the company’s operating profit has grown at a modest annual rate of 3.50%, indicating subdued long-term growth momentum. The most recent quarterly results for September 2025 further highlight challenges, with the Profit After Tax (PAT) declining by 34.5% to Rs.86.19 crore compared to the previous four-quarter average. Additionally, the quarterly PBDIT stood at Rs.158.37 crore, marking the lowest level in recent periods.
Debtors turnover ratio for the half-year period was recorded at 1.02 times, the lowest in recent history, signalling potential inefficiencies in receivables management. These financial metrics collectively point to a period of constrained profitability and operational performance.

Comparative Performance and Market Positioning
In addition to underperforming the Sensex, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd has also lagged behind the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months. This extended period of below-par returns highlights the stock’s relative weakness within the broader market and its sector.
Despite these challenges, the company maintains a strong management efficiency profile, with a Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 29.59%, indicating effective utilisation of capital resources. The average Debt to Equity ratio remains low at 0.08 times, reflecting a conservative capital structure with limited leverage.
Return on Equity (ROE) stands at 14.4%, and the stock trades at a Price to Book Value of 4.3, suggesting an attractive valuation relative to its historical peer averages. However, the stock’s profits have declined by 2.6% over the past year, consistent with the downward trend in share price.
Institutional investors hold a significant 86.3% stake in the company, indicating strong backing from entities with substantial analytical resources and long-term perspectives.
