Asian Paints (APNT) Earnings: Q2 Net Income Surpasses Estimates with Strong Pbdit Margin Performance

Asian Paints on Smartkarma

Analyst coverage on Asian Paints at Smartkarma showcases a mix of perspectives. Brian Freitas highlights potential free float changes and passive flows in November, with some stocks expected to see inflows from global trackers due to shareholding pattern shifts. On the other hand, Sudarshan Bhandari takes a bearish stance in the Asian Paints Vs. Grasim anti-trust showdown. Grasim’s allegations of anti-competitive practices by Asian Paints have led to a probe by CCI, potentially impacting dealer contracts in B2C staples. The outcome of the probe could reshape the dynamics of dealer contracts in the industry.

Furthermore, Rahul Jain‘s analysis delves into Asian Paints‘ challenges in navigating growth amid industry evolution. With FY26 guidance pointing towards low growth and pressure from competitors like Grasim and JSW, the decorative paints market faces intensifying pricing pressure. Despite a correction in stock value, Asian Paints still trades at a high P/E ratio of around 55x, signaling potential overvaluation given the slowing growth and increasing competitive risks in the sector.
