In Bajaj Consumer, the overall earnings were disappointing, as the company reported negative growth in revenue, as well as the margins dipped YoY. The stock slipped over 6 per cent to touch a day’s low level of Rs 151.6 per share on the BSE intraday.  

The company is facing headwinds on account of rural demand slowdown and commodity headwinds hitting at the same time, which is further getting exacerbated due to the category decline and dependence on a single product segment, YES Securities said in a note, adding that “We do not see the stock moving up till visibility on topline growth comes back.”
