Asian Paints reported a net profit of ₹1,068 crore for the second quarter, missing analyst estimates of ₹1,120 crore. CNBC TV18 reported that revenue grew 17% to reach ₹9,976.5 crore, exceeding expectations despite the miss in profitability metrics. The company's decorative business volume growth reached 6.8% during the quarter.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) fell short of projected targets, leading to downward pressure on the stock during the October 29, 2026, trading session. Managing Director and CEO Amit Syngle noted that the company absorbed some cost inflation to protect demand, while the international business saw a 29.5% growth despite geopolitical disruptions.
