Q4 Earnings Spotlight: Market Awaits Key Numbers from Britannia, Bharat Forge, Asian Paints, and L&T

Today marks a crucial day for Indian markets as 75 companies, including heavyweights Britannia, Bharat Forge, Asian Paints, and Larsen & Toubro (L&T), are set to announce their Q4 and FY25 financial results. Investors are closely tracking these releases for cues on sectoral trends, consumption patterns, and corporate outlooks.

Key highlights:

Asian Paints is expected to report a subdued quarter, with analysts projecting a 1-4% year-on-year decline in revenue to around ₹8,500–₹8,630 crore and a sharper 13-17% drop in net profit to ₹1,050–₹1,100 crore. The company faces headwinds from muted urban demand, rising competition, and higher operating costs. Market participants will be watching for management’s outlook on demand recovery, margin pressures, and any dividend announcements.

Britannia, Bharat Forge, and L&T are also among the marquee names declaring results today. L&T is anticipated to post robust numbers, with revenue estimates at ₹76,298 crore and net profit at ₹4,545 crore, reflecting continued infrastructure momentum.

The broader earnings season has seen mixed trends, with large caps outperforming and small caps facing volatility. Today’s results from these sector leaders will provide critical signals for the next phase of market direction.
