Q2 Results impact: Blue Star shares drop 6% as unseasonal cool weather slows AC demand, Godrej Properties down 5%

The firm’s revenue from operations meanwhile rose over 6 percent YoY to Rs 2,422 crore in Q2 FY26, as against Rs 2,276 crore in Q2 FY25.

Demand slowdown in AC segment:

Blue Star said that the room air conditioner segment continued to witness a demand slowdown after a subdued monsoon-led Q1 FY26, as prolonged rains and lower temperatures impacted secondary sales and delayed channel offtake.

Additionally, the GST rate cuts which came into effect in September deferred some room and commercial AC purchases, which also had a negative impact on the demand during the second quarter of FY25.

“We are optimistic about the prospects of Room AC business as the benefits of GST rate rationalization will spur the demand in Q3 FY26. However, unseasonal rains in several parts of the country continue to be a matter of concern. While the order inflow in Electro-Mechanical Projects business continues to slow, we expect demand revival in Commercial Air Conditioning and Commercial Refrigeration businesses,” the firm said.
