Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals and Bajaj Electricals are both currently loss-making, which puts them in high-risk territory regardless of how far their share prices have fallen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>India&#8217;s consumer durables and electrical appliance makers ride on housing, renovation and summer-season demand, with commodity input costs and rural consumption trends shaping margins across the sector.

It combines a strong return on equity of 17.88% with a price-to-earnings ratio of 42.17, below the industry average of 46.25, and carries an almost debt-free balance sheet. That combination of solid profitability, a relative discount and a stock near its lows makes it one of the more attractive consumer durables stocks to accumulate on dips.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crompton_Greaves_Consumer_Electricals_Avoid_High_Risk\"><\/span><strong>Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals: Avoid \/ High Risk<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals is at Rs 223.00, down close to 28% from its 52-week high of Rs 310.50 and near its low of Rs 217.40. The company currently reports negative earnings per share, which means there is no meaningful price-to-earnings ratio to lean on, even though its reported return on equity looks positive. Until the business shows a clean run of consistent profitability, this is a name to avoid rather than one to hold through the turnaround.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bajaj_Electricals_Avoid_High_Risk\"><\/span><strong>Bajaj Electricals: Avoid \/ High Risk<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bajaj Electricals has corrected sharply to Rs 324.65, down close to 50% from its 52-week high of Rs 653.80 and just above its low of Rs 301.00. The business is currently loss-making, with a negative return on equity of 1.13% and no meaningful price-to-earnings ratio. A steep price fall alone does not make a stock cheap, and until profitability returns, this looks better avoided than bought on the correction.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"V-Guard_Industries_Buy_on_Dips\"><\/span><strong>V-Guard Industries: Buy on Dips<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>V-Guard Industries trades at Rs 313.40, close to its 52-week low of Rs 288.80 and down close to 20% from its high of Rs 392.20. It posts a return on equity of 12.99% with a price-to-earnings ratio of 37.90, below the industry average of 47.26. That combination of a below-industry valuation, reasonable profitability and low debt makes it another of the more attractive consumer durables stocks to watch on dips.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Orient_Electric_Buy_on_Dips\"><\/span><strong>Orient Electric: Buy on Dips<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Orient Electric is at Rs 166.20, close to its 52-week low of Rs 149.05 and down close to 24% from its high of Rs 217.51. It stands out with a price-to-earnings ratio of just 32.66 against an industry average of 56.60, the steepest discount in this group, alongside a return on equity of 12.61%.

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals and Bajaj Electricals are both currently loss-making, a reminder that a sharp share price decline does not automatically signal value when the underlying business is not generating profits. Commodity input costs, particularly copper and aluminium, along with summer demand cycles, can move these numbers meaningfully from one quarter to the next.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Track live prices for these consumer durables stocks anytime with the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/univest-stocks-investment\/id6443753518\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest iOS App<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.univest.capp&amp;hl=en_IN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest Android App<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Consumer durables stocks in India currently show Havells India, V-Guard Industries and Orient Electric as the better placed picks for gradual accumulation among these consumer durables stocks, all trading near their 52-week lows at below-industry valuations, while Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals and Bajaj Electricals&#8217; current losses keep them in higher-risk territory.
