Havells India Ltd (HAVELLS) Q2FY26 Concall Summary - Sep-2025 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The company delivered a decent overall performance in Q2, though it was significantly impacted by weakness in summer products like air conditioners, fans, and coolers, which experienced a revenue decline due to a shorter summer and high channel inventory.
- The Cables and Wires segment maintained a steady growth momentum, driven by strong performance in power cables, which helped offset the weakness in other categories.
- Elevated working capital levels, particularly for the Cable and Lloyd segments, led to a reduction in cash and bank balances, which in turn impacted the interest income earned during the quarter.
- The company is actively investing in capacity expansion, highlighted by the acquisition of a 39-acre land parcel in Alwar, Rajasthan, for expanding its cables manufacturing facility.
- Management expressed a positive outlook for the second half of the year, citing factors like the normalization of channel inventory by Q3-end, stabilization in LED prices, an initial pickup in residential demand, and positive consumer sentiment following recent GST rate reductions on certain products.
