Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Akzo Nobel India (maker of Dulux Paints) reported FY2024-25 revenue of Rs. 4,091.2 crore, up 3% YoY, with PAT largely flat at Rs. 428.6 crore. Q4 revenue rose 5% to Rs. 1,022.1 crore, though Q4 PAT slipped 1% to Rs. 107.5 crore. EBIT margin was sustained at a healthy 13.5%, marking a fourth straight year of record performance. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 30 per share, taking total FY25 dividend to Rs. 100 per share (vs Rs. 75 last year). The company also confirmed the slump sale of its Powder Coatings and International Research Center divisions to a newly incorporated Indian subsidiary of parent AkzoNobel N.V. for Rs. 2,073 crore and Rs. 70 crore respectively, expected to close by December 31, 2025. Statutory auditor Price Waterhouse issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on both standalone and consolidated results.
Steady topline growth, sustained double-digit margins, and a 33% jump in total dividend signal operational resilience for shareholders. The related-party divestment to the parent group could unlock significant cash inflows by year-end, supporting further shareholder returns, though the deal's pricing and terms may attract shareholder scrutiny at the upcoming August 4 AGM.
