Rise in competitive intensity for market share, talent, and shelf-space, and mind share will keep Asian Paints' margins under pressure. To add to that, weakness in urban demand and a rise in competition in terms of mergers and acquisitions may also hurt earnings, ultimately leading to rating downgrade, Citi said.

Asian Paints on Tuesday reported a 23.3 per cent drop in consolidated net profit to ₹1,110.48 crore for the third quarter (Q3) of the financial year 2024-25 (FY25), from ₹1,447.72 crore reported during the same period last year.
