In the last 1 year, Asian paints’ share price has fallen by a negative 0.67%.
If you bought the top, your portfolio may not have grown. Not just that, in the last 2 years, the share has fallen multiple times from the range of Rs. 280000 to Rs. 3600. The share price is definitely not growing and looks to be capitulating.
If you are one who bought the top of Asian Paints share price during this period, you must be thinking: Is Asian Paints a good stock to buy and hold or should you exit from the company?
In order to understand that, let us have a look at the sales, and profits YOY. Is there anything wrong with the numbers?
The sales have been growing YOY. The profits are growing YOY, and that too at an impressive rate. Personally, I could not find anything wrong with the company.
At times, operators do play with the chart and test your patience.
To make a big up-move, Asian paints may play in the same region for quite some time now, but if you are a long-term holder, I do not see anything that could worry investors, at this point.
