WHIRLPOOL:NSEWhirlpool Of India Limited Analysis

Whirlpool of India is trading at ₹819.1, just above the computed support of ₹815.3. The price sits below the 20‑day SMA (≈₹898) and the 50‑day SMA (≈₹858), indicating short‑term weakness. However, the 200‑day SMA remains well above current levels (≈₹1,153), underscoring a longer‑term bearish backdrop. The 14‑day RSI of 35.9 places the stock in the oversold zone, suggesting a potential bounce. The MACD histogram is deep in negative territory (‑11.05) and the signal line is bullish, flagging continued downside pressure. Volatility is elevated at nearly 39% over the past 30 days, while beta is slightly negative (‑0.25), implying limited correlation with the broader market. Valuation metrics are stretched, with a trailing P/E of 31.9 and forward P/E of 23, well above the sector average. The dividend yield of 0.6% is modest, but the payout ratio sits under 20%, indicating room for sustainability.
On the fundamentals side, the company generated ₹7.86 bn in revenue with 4% growth and a modest profit margin of 4.2%. Cash on hand exceeds ₹26 bn, dwarfing its ₹2.6 bn debt, giving a net‑cash position that can fund operations and dividends. Recent earnings commentary highlighted strong EBITDA growth and the signing of long‑term brand and technology agreements with the global Whirlpool Corporation, a catalyst for mid‑term earnings visibility. The upside/downside estimate of +39% suggests a sizable upside to the target mean price of ₹1,142. Nevertheless, the sector’s consumer‑cyclical nature and a high max drawdown of 46% inject caution. Overall, the stock appears fairly valued with a blend of growth and value characteristics, and the dividend appears sustainable.
