📉 Ideal Entry Price Zone

🧭 Long-Term Investment Outlook

V-Guard is a moderate candidate for long-term investment. It has strong return metrics and a clean balance sheet, but valuation is stretched and earnings growth is under pressure. Suitable for patient investors who believe in the long-term potential of consumer electricals.

Holding Period: 2–4 years

Reassess if ROE drops below 12% or PEG remains above 4.0

Watch for margin recovery and product diversification

🚪 Exit Strategy (If Already Holding)

Partial Exit Zone: ₹420–₹440

Near recent resistance and valuation ceiling

Full Exit

If ROE drops below 12% for 2+ quarters

If PEG ratio stays above 5.0 without earnings rebound

If price breaks below ₹350 and fails to recover

Reinvest: On dips near ₹360 if fundamentals improve
