Bajaj Electricals reported a mixed Q3 FY26 with lighting solutions growing 9% YoY, but consumer products revenue declined 25% due to deliberate channel inventory normalization. Management highlighted that channel inventory days in consumer products are down 30%, and operating cash flow improved to ₹211 crore. The company is shifting to a demand-led secondary sales model, which is expected to improve margins and working capital over time. However, near-term profitability remains under pressure, with EBITDA margins negative in consumer products. Guidance suggests normalization will continue into Q4, with benefits visible from FY27. Risks include prolonged inventory correction in summer products and potential market share loss during the transition.
बजाज इलेक्ट्रिकल्स ने तीसरी तिमाही में मिले-जुले नतीजे दिए। लाइटिंग प्रोडक्ट्स की बिक्री पिछले साल से 9% बढ़ी, लेकिन कंज्यूमर प्रोडक्ट्स की बिक्री 25% गिर गई। कंपनी ने जानबूझकर दुकानों पर पड़े पुराने स्टॉक को कम किया। अब दुकानों पर स्टॉक 30% कम रह गया है और कंपनी के पास नकदी 211 करोड़ रुपये बढ़ी है। कंपनी अब सीधे ग्राहकों की मांग के हिसाब से बिक्री करेगी, जिससे मुनाफा और कार्यशील पूंजी बेहतर होगी। फिलहाल कंज्यूमर प्रोडक्ट्स में मुनाफा कम है। उम्मीद है कि चौथी तिमाही में सुधार जारी रहेगा और अगले वित्त वर्ष से फायदा दिखेगा। जोखिम यह है कि गर्मियों के प्रोडक्ट्स का स्टॉक कम होने में देरी हो सकती है और बदलाव के दौरान बाजार हिस्सेदारी घट सकती है।
