Whirlpool of India reported FY2026 standalone revenue of Rs 7,473.8 crore, marginally up 0.7% from Rs 7,420.8 crore in FY2025. However, profit after tax declined significantly by 22.7% to Rs 242.2 crore from Rs 313.4 crore in the prior year. The auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the financial statements. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs 5 per share (50%) for FY2025-26. Key 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). Notable items include Rs 99.1 crore final insurance claim for Delhi warehouse fire and Rs 338.4 crore accrual for new Labour Codes. Promoter holding diluted from 51% to 39.76% in November 2025, ending subsidiary status. The company also acquired remaining 31.8% stake in ElicaPB Whirlpool Kitchen Appliances for Rs 585.6 crore, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary.
The stock may face negative sentiment due to significant PAT decline (~23%) despite flat revenue, indicating margin compression. The clean audit opinion and dividend provide some support. The dilution of promoter holding to ~40% could affect stock appeal for some investors.
