The stock was trading at Rs 2,752.40, up 3.02% from its previous close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India&#8217;s largest paint manufacturer reported a strong Q4 FY26 performance, with consolidated net profit rising 69.3% year-on-year to Rs 1,172.1 crore. Consolidated net sales increased 10.8% to Rs 9,228.5 crore, while profit before exceptional items and tax grew 33.9% to Rs 1,614.1 crore. The company also announced a final dividend of Rs 23 per share, taking the total FY26 dividend payout to Rs 27.50 per share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The earnings performance exceeded market expectations across revenue growth, volume expansion, and margins. Asian Paints, with a market capitalization of around Rs 2.56 lakh crore, has delivered gains of over 22% in the past year, sharply outperforming the Nifty 50, which fell 4.4% during the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brokerage opinions, however, remain divided. Nomura reiterated a buy rating with a target price of Rs 3,600, indicating nearly 34% upside potential. Jefferies and Macquarie also maintained positive views, highlighting strong domestic volume growth and better operating performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, HSBC, CLSA, Morgan Stanley, and Citi maintained cautious stances, citing concerns around rising raw material costs, dealer pre-buying ahead of price increases, and sustained competitive pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Management said additional price hikes remain under consideration to offset increasing input costs while maintaining margin guidance of 18-20%. The company also expects volume growth of 8-10% in FY27, which investors are likely to watch closely in the coming quarters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shares of Asian Paints climbed more than 3% in early trading on Monday after the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[90,264],"class_list":["post-2059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-consumer-durables","tag-asianpaint","tag-q4-results-2026"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2059"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2059\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2061,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2059\/revisions\/2061"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
