Asian Paints Shares Rise Despite FY25 Revenue, Profit Declines

Asian Paints shares have shown modest gains recently despite the company reporting a challenging financial year in FY25, marked by declining revenues and profits due to weak consumer sentiment and increased competition, particularly in urban markets. The company’s consolidated revenue fell 4.5% to ₹33,906 crore with net profit dropping 33% to ₹3,710 crore, while standalone results revealed a 5.4% revenue decline and a 32.6% profit decrease. Asian Paints is focusing on growth through institutional and projects business, government sector approvals, expansion of its home décor segment, and reallocating resources by exiting Indonesia to strengthen core markets. Quarterly financials show a decrease in net profit for Q4 FY25 compared to the same period last year, reflecting ongoing challenges. Despite short-term setbacks, the stock has exhibited positive momentum in recent months with gains in monthly and quarterly returns, and maintains a strong five-year return, though it has experienced declines over the one- and three-year periods. Asian Paints competes with Berger Paints, which has shown stronger mid-term gains but more recent volatility; both companies’ stock performance and technical indicators suggest cautious optimism among investors.
