    Financials
    For the quarter ended 31-03-2021, the company reported a Consolidated Total Income of Rs 1792.54 Crore, up 17.75 % from last quarter Total Income of Rs 1522.34 Crore and up 29.96 % from last year same quarter Total Income of Rs 1379.27 Crore. Company reported net profit after tax of Rs 123.82 Crore in latest quarter.

    Investment Rationale
    Whirlpool’s 4QFY21 two-year revenue CAGR of 14.6% is best in coverage universe and provides confidence that the company continues to see market share gains rather than general apprehensions of a risk to market share. It hasn’t resorted to aggressive cost cutting measures during COVID-19. As the economy recovers from the lockdowns, operating leverage should aid margin normalization by FY23E to 11.4%. While topline growth has been at par with coverage universe companies, the low base of FY21 should help in faster earnings growth as peers witness margin erosion from a high base of FY21. This should help the stock catch-up with its peers. To account for the second COVID wave, the brokerage cuts FY22E/23E EPS by 20%/4% and TP to INR2,900 (from INR3,020 earlier) based on unchanged target FY23E P/E of 55x.
