Recent context
- ·Q1 FY27 results, reported July 17, 2026, showed net profit down 16.64% YoY to Rs 289.71 crore against revenue growth of roughly 19-20%, attributed by coverage (CNBC TV18, NDTV Profit, Economic Times) to higher advertising spend; the Lloyd business segment reportedly stayed loss-making per NDTV Profit.
- ·Tracked news flow over the period was 6 negative / 2 neutral / 0 positive headlines, all tied to coverage of the same Q1 FY27 print rather than distinct events.
- ·simplywall.st reported the quarter missed consensus EPS estimates by roughly 33%, noting analysts were revising their forecasts afterward.
Strengths
- +PE of 48.5x (forward 38.5x) is the lowest among tracked Consumer Goods peers (Asian Paints 55.3x, DMart 83.6x, Titan 85.2x, Trent 92.8x).
- +5-year revenue CAGR of 19.5%, with Q1 FY27 revenue growth of roughly 19-20% YoY continuing that trajectory.
- +ROE was above 15% in 4 of the tracked years per the persistence series, and the mean analyst rating stands at 1.94 across 36 analysts on a 1-5 scale (lower = more constructive).
- +Debt-to-equity is low in absolute terms at roughly 0.03x, and the last available price sits about 6.3% above its 50-DMA (Rs 1,186.69).
Weaknesses
- −5-year earnings CAGR is negative at -16.6% despite 19.5% revenue growth, and Q1 FY27 net profit fell 16.64% YoY to Rs 289.71 crore even as revenue rose roughly 19-20%.
- −Quality composite score of 28/100 ranks last (6th of 6) among tracked Consumer Goods peers, versus a peer range of roughly 34-50.
- −Last available price sits 21.54% below the 52-week high and about 4.1% below the 200-DMA (Rs 1,315.07), with a 15.65% decline over the trailing 12 months.
- −FCF was positive in only 3 of the tracked years and the debt trend is flagged 'rising' in the persistence series, even though the absolute D/E level (roughly 0.03x) remains low.
Open questions
- ?Does the gap between 19.5% five-year revenue growth and a negative 16.6% five-year earnings CAGR reflect a structural margin issue or a temporary step-up in advertising investment?
- ?What would need to be true of the Lloyd segment's economics for it to stop weighing on consolidated profitability?
- ?How does the 'rising' debt trend noted in the persistence series reconcile with an absolute D/E level that remains low at roughly 0.03x?
- ?What specifically underlies HAVELLS' last-place quality-score ranking (28/100) relative to its five tracked Consumer Goods peers -- profitability, cash generation, or balance-sheet composition?

Risk flags
- mediumQ1 FY27 results (reported July 17, 2026) showed revenue up roughly 19-20% YoY but net profit down 16.64% YoY to Rs 289.71 crore, attributed to higher advertising spend. This is consistent with a negative 5-year earnings CAGR of -16.6% against 5-year revenue growth of 19.5%.
- mediumQuality composite score of 28/100 ranks last (6th of 6) within the tracked Consumer Goods peer set (Asian Paints, Eternal, Titan, Trent, DMart), versus a peer range of roughly 34-50.
- lowCurrent-period ROE is unavailable (null) in the latest fundamentals block, though the historical persistence series shows ROE above 15% in 4 of the tracked years; profitability assessment here leans on that series rather than the latest print.
- lowThe technical snapshot's price/date stamp could not be independently confirmed as of the 2026-08-01 run date given an out-of-date runDate on the underlying draft. Figures (price ~Rs 1,261.7, SMA50 Rs 1,186.69, SMA200 Rs 1,315.07, RSI 66.91) are treated as the most recent available reading rather than a confirmed same-day quote.
Cross-section contradictions
- Mean analyst rating of 1.94 across 36 analysts (1-5 scale, lower = more constructive) sits toward the constructive end, while the quality composite ranks last (6 of 6) among tracked sector peers and the 5-year earnings CAGR is negative (-16.6%) -- sell-side positioning and the quality/earnings trend point in different directions.
