It has a good market presence
Market leader
May be because of brand value it enjoys the premium
Interesting development in Q3 SHP
FII / FPIs have consolidated their holding by increasing 2.14% (24.36% in Q3 to 22.22% in Q2)
They grabbed
1.05% from insurance companies including 0.97% from LIC
0.46% from retailers
0.22% from Mutual Funds
Retailers : Approx 9K retailers moved out i.e. reduction of 6.5% in absolute numbers
Above movement resulted in decrease of 0.46% in share holding (4.93% in Q3 to 5.394% in Q2)
Unbelievable results on the back of festive demand, better reach, supply chain efficiencies, gains from unorganised sector…and own prodn & pre-buying in case of ACs.

Havells Q1 Results!
(Disclaimer: Invested)
Need to focus on Llyod Consumer Business and see how it turns out! (not a high contributing margin to revenue)

Management Commentary :
hi…Saw your earlier posts on Havells…Quite an Indepth analysis. I have observed that From last few years, Havells has not performed well, business wise as well as stock performance also not good. After Llyod aquisition, its graph has been on downward trajectory. If i can give analogy, its more like Britannia…Earlier past has been glorious but recent past is nothing to feel good about. So how you look at next 5 years for Havells,? I am in the process of adding Havells and Polycab in my core portfolio…But after reading your posts, Confidence about Havells is shaking. Polycab business performance is superior to Havells. Its sales are good, Profits are good and stock performance has been very nice. So confused between the two, which one is better? Also polycab is at very high valuations, almost double at its average 5 years PE, while Havells is at lower than its 5 years Average PE…This is adding more confusion…Please guide…
Thanks for the article. after he sold Overseas business, to focus on Indian Market, as said by him in the above interview, still there is no growth in domestics sales as well as profitability. Many hicupps can be seen in sales as well as Margins too. It is a big brand but not having secular growth. What is your opinion, can it be a secular multibagger in next 5 to 8 years, given that its cable market has a strong competitor like Polycab? Also please throw some light on current valuations too if possible?

Not tracking anymore.
Hi…Thanks for your feedback. Just a bit curious…Did you drop tracking it anymore, because its thesis got punctured? or You were skeptical about it from the start, being not a secular play in the long run? kindly guide.
Havells India has transformed from being an industrial product driven business to consumer driven business. They are improving market share across product segments through new product launches & increasing penetration in tier II & tier III cities. They plan to spend Rs. 700- 800 crore in FY23 to expand manufacturing capacities of air conditioner, washing machines and wire & cables. The softening of raw material prices & launch of premium products will result in strong EBITDA margin recovery from H2FY23 onwards.
