Home decor companies struggle to shake off woes
Mint Hyderabad|December 05, 2024
Investors of listed home decor or building materials stocks are sitting on losses, with shares correcting from 52-week highs. These firms continue to struggle with challenges ranging from muted volumes, weak realizations to rising input costs.

The September quarter (Q2FY25) was more of the same. Sluggish demand, along with an extended monsoon and lower infrastructure spends, weighed on earnings, prompting earnings downgrades for FY25.

Ebitda stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
