What’s Next for Asian Paints Stock?
While the block deal sparked excitement, analysts remain cautious.
Many technical analysts note a “morning star bullish reversal candle” forming on the daily chart, suggesting short-term upside potential. RSI indicators also show a bullish crossover, with ₹2,350–2,420 acting as near-term resistance and ₹2,200 as a solid support.
Sector-wise, the paint and coatings industry is witnessing increased aggression from Grasim (Birla Opus), JSW Paints, and others, squeezing market share and margins for incumbents like Asian Paints. The upcoming monsoon season and rural demand will be key metrics to watch.
Conclusion: Is the Block Deal a Turning Point?
The ₹7,703 crore block deal in Asian Paints has triggered renewed interest in a stock that’s recently been under pressure. While short-term momentum seems strong, long-term caution is advised due to intensifying competition and mixed analyst sentiment.
Investors should closely monitor Q1 FY26 numbers, margin trends, and updates on capex plans before making a fresh investment call.
