FY26 revenue growth was 4.3% at Havells, 7.0% at V-Guard and 1.5% at Whirlpool. P\/E stands at 40.46 for Havells (industry 44.39), 35.49 for V-Guard (industry 45.82) and 43.89 for Whirlpool (industry 44.39). Demand cycles, input costs and valuation decide how much of that growth the market keeps paying for, so each company&#8217;s risks need equal attention.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Consumer durable stocks give investors exposure to rising incomes, new homes and the shift to better appliances. Results depend on volume growth, raw material costs and dealer reach, which is why margins and pricing power matter as much as sales.<\/p>\n<p>This list covers three consumer durables sector stocks: Havells India for wires, switchgear, fans, lighting and appliances, V-Guard Industries for voltage stabilisers, wires, pumps and electrical appliances and Whirlpool of India for refrigerators, washing machines and home appliances. Every figure comes from the latest reported financials and the 5 October 2026 market close. Companies without complete current figures were left out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a
