Asian Paints
Asian Paints posted a mixed set of numbers on the top-line and the earnings front. The top
line grew by robust 29.6% yoy (ahead of our estimates of 24% yoy growth); however,
earnings growth was modest at 9.7% yoy (below our estimates of 19% yoy growth), as the
company faces margin pressures and high depreciation cost. The company’s operating profit
grew by 8.4% yoy to `344cr (`318cr). However, operating margins contracted by 321bp yoy
on account of a 336bp contraction in gross margins (on account of spiraling crude prices)
and other expenses (up 64bp yoy). The stock is currently under review.
