Havells India, a leading player in consumer durables and electricals, is under pressure with its stock dropping around 5% recently - despite posting strong Q4 profits. The key concern behind this dip is soft demand for air conditioners, especially in South India, due to a late onset of summer, which led to weak secondary sales in March–April .

Adding to investor unease is increased competition in the cables and wires segment, with new entrants like UltraTech and Adani triggering fears of pricing pressure and loss of market share . Margin compression has also drawn attention: Investec slashed its share price target, citing squeezed margins in core segments , while multiple brokerages - JM Financial, Kotak, Motilal Oswal, and IIFL - cut EPS forecasts by 4–8%, flagging challenges in Lloyd’s business and cables .

Technically, market sentiment has turned bearish following cautious commentary from management, prompting several firms to adopt ‘Sell’ or ‘Hold’ ratings . For investors, unless AC demand picks up quickly and competition is managed, short positions may gain momentum, keeping near-term pressure on the stock.
