Whirlpool of India reported audited FY2026 results (standalone: revenue ₹747,380 lakhs, PAT ₹24,223 lakhs; consolidated: revenue ₹803,420 lakhs, PAT ₹29,530 lakhs). Revenue was essentially flat vs FY2025 (up ~0.7% standalone), while PAT declined significantly — standalone PAT fell 22.7% from ₹31,337 to ₹24,223 and consolidated PAT fell 18.6% from ₹36,278 to ₹29,530. The decline was driven by a ₹3,341 lakhs exceptional charge (standalone) due to new labour code implementation costs offsetting a ₹991 lakhs insurance claim. The Board recommended a final dividend of ₹5 per share (50% payout). Key management changes include the resignation of Executive Director & CFO Mr. Anuj Lall (effective July 20, 2026) and appointment of Mr. Aditya Jain as Executive Director & CFO (effective July 21, 2026). Auditors S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP issued an unmodified opinion.
Flat revenue with a ~23% PAT decline signals margin pressure, likely negative for the stock in the near term. However, the clean audit opinion and dividend announcement provide some support for long-term investors.
