technically from 2021 to 2024 asian paints has seen distribution i think by now smart money has already exited
Asian Paints last all quaters has profits around 1100-1200 cr This quater 694 cr which is very massive dip in profits
current p/e 52
sector p/e 47
i think asian paints is now no longer market leader
so considering these profits constant for next three quaters also then
keeping P/e also constant at 50 stock fair price would be 1600 where eps is taken as 32 (Trailing Twelve months)
if pe also falls asian paints fair valuation comes around 900-1200 rupees Thats a lot of gap
fii hold 15% others hold 8% public around 18%
i think asian paints facing severe competition from berger paints grasim indigo paints sirca paints mrf (also has paints ) and many other local players
