Bajaj Electricals reported modest Q4FY26 performance impacted by delayed summer onset, geopolitical uncertainties, and input cost pressures. Lighting Solutions delivered strong results with 28% YoY EBIT growth and highest-ever annual margin of 8.5%. Consumer Products segment reported a loss due to operating deleverage, though kitchen appliances grew ~30%. The company entered the wires category with encouraging demand. Cash position stands at INR 934 crores with negative working capital maintained. New CFO Ashween Anand was introduced. Management expects capex to decline significantly (less than half of past levels) in FY27-28 and targets growth ahead of mid-single digit market rate with industry-average margins of 6-9%.
The company is transitioning Consumer Products to a balanced demand-volume model while Lighting Solutions shows strong momentum. The significant reduction in planned capex signals improved cash generation capacity, though margin expansion in Lighting may be reinvested for growth rather than pure profitability.
