Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on Asian Paints
APNT has posted ~20% volume growth in domestic decorative business aided by sustained migration from unorganized segment, lower trade inventory in base quarter and channel filling led by dealer promotion schemes. Slowdown in demand is impacting the demand for automotive and industrial coatings, and we expect moderation in volume growth for domestic decorative paints in the coming quarter. Margin outlook remain positive given soft crude prices and favorable USD/INR, however gains from lower freight from new units will be partly neutralized by higher overheads.
