Whirlpool of India Ltd’s stock declined to a fresh 52-week low of Rs.884.05 today, marking a significant downturn in its share price amid ongoing challenges in both long-term and recent financial performance. This new low reflects a continuation of the stock’s downward trajectory over the past year, contrasting sharply with broader market gains.



Stock Price Movement and Market Context


On 31 Dec 2025, Whirlpool of India Ltd’s share price touched Rs.884.05, the lowest level recorded in the past 52 weeks. This represents a steep decline from its 52-week high of Rs.1,888, underscoring a loss of over 50% in value within the year. The stock’s performance today was broadly in line with its sector, Electronics & Appliances, which has seen mixed trends.

The Sensex’s positive momentum contrasts with Whirlpool’s subdued price action.

Financial Performance and Profitability Trends


Whirlpool of India Ltd’s financial results have reflected a challenging environment. The company reported a Profit Before Tax (PBT) excluding other income of negative Rs.2.24 crore for the latest quarter, representing a sharp fall of 109.32% compared to the previous period. Similarly, Profit After Tax (PAT) declined by 34.4% to Rs.34.13 crore. Net sales for the quarter stood at Rs.1,647.27 crore, marking the lowest quarterly sales figure recorded recently.


Over the last five years, the company’s operating profit has contracted at an annual rate of -0.49%, indicating subdued growth in core earnings. This sluggish expansion has contributed to the stock’s underperformance relative to broader market indices. Over the past year, Whirlpool’s stock has delivered a negative return of -50.67%, while the Sensex gained 8.72% during the same period. The stock has also lagged behind the BSE500 index over one year, three years, and three months, highlighting persistent underperformance.



Valuation and Financial Ratios


Despite the recent price decline, Whirlpool of India Ltd maintains certain valuation metrics that may be considered attractive. The company’s Return on Equity (ROE) stands at 8.3%, and it trades at a Price to Book Value ratio of 2.8, which is lower than the average historical valuations of its peers in the Electronics & Appliances sector. This discount reflects market caution given the company’s recent financial results and growth outlook.


The company’s debt profile remains conservative, with an average Debt to Equity ratio of zero, indicating minimal leverage. Institutional investors hold a significant stake of 39.61%, which has increased by 0.57% over the previous quarter, suggesting continued confidence from large shareholders despite the stock’s price decline.


However, the Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio is elevated at 4.5, reflecting a disparity between the company’s profit growth rate of 7.4% over the past year and its current valuation multiples.

Market Position and Sector Comparison


Within the Electronics & Appliances sector, Whirlpool of India Ltd’s performance contrasts with broader market trends. While the Sensex and BSE Small Cap indices have shown gains recently, Whirlpool’s stock continues to trade below all major moving averages, indicating a lack of upward momentum. The company’s market capitalisation grade is rated at 3, reflecting a mid-tier valuation relative to peers.


The company’s Mojo Score of 28.0 and a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, upgraded from Sell on 8 Dec 2025, further underline the cautious stance on the stock based on comprehensive financial and market data analysis. These ratings incorporate factors such as profitability trends, valuation, and price momentum.



Summary of Key Metrics


To summarise, Whirlpool of India Ltd’s stock has reached a 52-week low of Rs.884.05, reflecting a year-to-date decline of over 50%. The company’s quarterly results show declines in profitability and sales, while long-term growth remains subdued. Valuation metrics suggest the stock trades at a discount to peers, supported by a low debt profile and moderate ROE. Institutional holdings remain relatively high, indicating some level of confidence from large investors despite the stock’s recent weakness.


These factors collectively explain the stock’s current price level and its relative underperformance compared to the broader market and sector indices.
