Voltas shares fell 6.22% to Rs. 1,225.10 on August 11, 2025, after Q1FY26 earnings missed expectations, with profit and margins sharply down.
Q1 performance was weak, with net profit plunging 58% YoY, revenue down 20%, and UCP segment margins hitting a decade low due to unseasonal weather and rising competition.
Voltas stock saw a 33% year-to-date drop, well below Nifty 50’s 2% gain; analysts remain cautious on near-term prospects.
Voltas share price today, on August 11, 2025, is trading at Rs. 1,225.10 at press time, according to Moneycontrol data. It is down 6.22% from the previous close of Rs. 1,304.90 as of 11:44 AM on August 11, 2025. The decline follows a disappointing June-quarter (Q1FY26) earnings report that fell short of market expectations. Thus, prompting a cautious outlook from several brokerages.
Voltas shares reported a steep 58% year-on-year drop in net profit to Rs. 140.6 crore, compared to Rs. 334 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue declined 20% to Rs. 3,938.6 crore, while EBITDA was halved to Rs. 178.6 crore. Operating margins contracted sharply to 4.5% from 8.6% a year earlier, reflecting both softer sales and cost pressures.
The company’s Unitary Cooling Products (UCP) segment, which accounts for a significant portion of revenue, saw a 25% year-on-year decline in turnover. Segment margins hit a decade low of 3.6%, while market share slipped to 17.8% from 19.5% in the corresponding period last year.
Management attributed the poor performance to unseasonal weather patterns, including a delayed summer and an early monsoon, which reduced demand for cooling products. Last year’s prolonged heatwave had set a high base, making the year-on-year comparisons appear even weaker. Rising competition in the air-conditioning market also weighed on pricing power and margins.
Voltas’ share price has had a difficult year so far. In 2025, the stock has declined 33%, significantly underperforming the Nifty 50 index’s modest 2% gain. Today’s intraday range saw the stock touch a high of Rs. 1,250 and a low of Rs. 1,192. The current market capitalization stands at Rs. 40,500 crore, with a 52-week high of Rs. 1,944.90 and a 52-week low of Rs. 1,135.

Market Outlook
Voltas shares face a challenging near-term outlook as weather-driven demand increases volatility, competitive pressures, and weaker margins weigh on performance. At the same time, its long-term fundamentals remain tied to India’s growing cooling products market. Investors may wait for signs of recovery in sales momentum and profitability before turning optimistic again.
Voltas’ share price fell 6.22% after it reported weak Q1 results. The company’s net profit plunged 58% YoY, revenue fell 20%, and margins narrowed significantly due to unseasonal weather, early monsoon, muted summer demand, and rising competition in the cooling products market.
