Here are the latest financial report updates on Asian Paints:

📊 Q1 FY26 Preview & Figures

Investors are focused on Q1 results scheduled for July 29 board meeting, with trading window closed June 20–July 31.
HDFC SKY notes a sequential drop in Q4 FY25: net profit plunged to ₹24.94 cr (‑71% from Q4 FY25’s ₹60.46 cr), though revenue remained steady at ₹600.6 cr—an odd dip tied to the timing of one-time items.

🔙 Q4 FY25 Financial Highlights

Standalone decorative business volumes grew 1.8% QoQ, yet revenues dropped ~5.2%. EBIT margins also contracted.
Consolidated PBDIT margin was 17.2% (‑220 bps YoY), reflecting slower decorative and global demand.
Profit after tax sank ~45% YoY to ₹692.1 cr, against ₹1,256 cr a year ago, with operating profit falling ~35% YoY.
Total income declined ~4.3% YoY to ₹8,329–8,359 cr

📉 FY25 Year-End Performance

FY25 reported the sharpest drop in net profit in 20+ years, with total PAT at ₹3,667 cr—nearly one-third lower than FY24—due to weak demand and intensifying competition.
Revenue dropped ~4.5% YoY in FY25, with EBITDA margins shrinking ~365 bps to ~17.7%

👥 Competitive Pressures

Rival Birla Opus aggressively captured ~6.8% market share since February 2024, prompting Asian Paints’ share to drop from ~59% to ~52% by March 2025.
This competitive pressure and soft demand contributed significantly to Q4/FY25 underperformance .

🔍 Market Outlook

Monitoring Q1 FY26 result will be critical—analysts expect improved margins through pricing, cost control, and growth in industrial & international segments.
The share price saw a 24% decline over the past year, with recent block deals and dividend stabilizing some investor sentiment.

Summary:

Asian Paints faced a challenging FY25 with significant profit decline and margin pressure. Q4 results reflected steep YoY drops, while Q1 FY26 is being watched keenly for early signs of recovery. Competitive threats loom large from Grasim's Birla Opus, impacting both volumes and pricing power.
