Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Akzo Nobel India filed its Q1 FY26 investor presentation with the exchanges. Revenue fell 4% year-on-year to ₹9,951 mn, and net profit dropped 21% to ₹910 mn, hurt by muted consumer demand, competitive intensity in decorative paints, and the ongoing strategic review. The B2B coatings segment posted healthy orders and growth in auto OEM, protective, coil and extrusion businesses, while the B2C decorative paints vertical remained weak. Gross margin slipped to 42.8% from 44.6% due to an unfavourable product mix. A special dividend of ₹156 per share has been recommended, partly backed by a slump sale transaction. The headline announcement: JSW Paints will acquire a 74% stake in the company for ₹8,926 Cr at 22x EV/EBITDA, subject to regulatory approvals and a mandatory open offer to minority shareholders.
Mixed bag for shareholders — weak quarterly results, but a high-value takeover offer from JSW Paints at a 22x EV/EBITDA multiple plus a hefty special dividend. The open offer price for minority shareholders will be the key near-term catalyst, while the long-term story depends on regulatory clearance and the combined JSW-Dulux growth plan.
