Asian Paints (INE021A01026) scheduled a board meeting for October 29, 2026, to consider second-quarter results and a possible interim dividend, according to CNBC TV18 on October 6, 2026. The date gives Asian Paints stock a defined earnings catalyst after consolidated sales rose 17.90 percent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027.

Q1 growth sets the baseline

Asian Paints reported consolidated net sales of INR 105.21 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with INR 89.25 billion a year earlier. Consolidated net profit reached INR 15.39 billion, up 40.00 percent from INR 10.998 billion in the same period. The figures come from the company investor information page, which also reports standalone Q1 net sales of INR 91.57 billion and standalone net profit of INR 14.78 billion for the same period.

The comparison matters because the next report will cover the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2026. Management guidance cited by CNBC TV18 calls for fiscal year 2027 volume growth of 8-10 percent and margins of 18-20 percent, while raw material prices remain a central operating variable.

Three dated milestones and figures

On June 23, 2026, Asian Paints recorded a dividend action of INR 23.00 per share on the NSE. On July 29, 2026, the company scheduled its first-quarter financial review, with Q1 consolidated sales later reported at INR 105.21 billion. On October 6, 2026, the company set October 29 for the next results review and possible interim dividend decision, with the latest volume outlook at 8-10 percent.

What did October 29 mean for margins?

The answer is the gap between the latest result and the stated range. Asian Paints reported a consolidated EBITDA margin of 20.60 percent in the first quarter, while the fiscal year 2027 margin outlook is 18-20 percent. The October meeting will therefore put demand, input costs and the durability of the margin performance in the same frame.

Dates investors can mark

The board is scheduled to consider results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2026, on October 29, 2026. November 4, 2026, is the record date for eligibility for an interim dividend if the board declares one, according to CNBC TV18.
