Key moving average clusters (~₹295–310) remain unbroken, highlighting continued weakness.Parabolic SAR dots remain above price candles, confirming a downtrend. RSI (14) is near 36, indicating oversold but not yet showing reversal strength.
MACD remains negative, histogram bars flatlining, with no strong indication of a sharp trend reversal.
Short-term support: ₹278–282 (recent swing low). Resistance: ₹292–298 (previous bounce top). Below ₹278, risk of fresh lows; above ₹298 sustained close needed for any trend reversal.
Fundamental Analysis
Q2 FY25 results earlier showed revenue growth of 6.4% YoY (₹1,896 crore), but profit margins remain pressured by rising input costs and weak demand in some segments. Net profit up ~28.5% YoY, but pace of margin recovery is slow.
Market cap is ₹18,200+ crore (down 26% YoY), with revenue base around ₹7,724 crore.
Analysts note weak sales growth (11.7% CAGR) and poor historical margin performance, but debt-free balance sheet is a positive.
Company’s move into solar products and kitchen appliances could aid long-term diversification.
Operating margin remains well below top-tier peers due to commodity price pressures and competitive intensity.
Q2 Result Outlook (6 Nov 2025)
Expectations are modest, with consensus projecting stable revenue but limited operating leverage. The market is looking for signs of margin recovery and positive management commentary.
Market disappointed if margin/volume recovery is absent; any upside surprise could trigger short covering.
Key Entry Levels (Short/Long Term)
Short term: Entry possible near ₹280–283 if signs of price stabilization emerge, with a strict stop-loss below ₹278.
Long term: Only consider accumulating in ₹265–275 zone on further dips, post Q2 results and clarity on margin trajectory. Upside targets: ₹295–310; above ₹310, a reversal is possible.
Avoid aggressive buying until signs of trend reversal are seen on daily chart.
