Paint cos riding price hikes to double-digit growth
Domestic paint companies are poised for a 10-15% revenue growth in the September quarter due to price increases. While volume growth is anticipated to remain low at 5-7%, these price hikes will help counteract rising costs. The fluctuations in crude oil prices have significantly impacted the raw material expenses for these companies. Analysts anticipate a decline in EBITDA margins for many companies despite the price adjustments.
