Kansai Nerolac Share Price Jumps 11% After Q4FY26 Results: EBITDA Rises 31%, Margin Expands To 11.1%

Kansai Nerolac Paints share price jumped nearly 11% in intraday trade on May 7 after the company reported Q4FY26 earnings. The stock touched an intraday high of ₹223.49 before trimming some gains.

The rally was supported by strong buying volumes as investors reacted positively to healthy revenue growth, improving margins, and better profitability. Around 0.40 million shares were traded during the session, much higher than the recent average volumes.

Revenue And Profit Grow Strongly In Q4FY26

Kansai Nerolac reported consolidated revenue of ₹1,950 crore in Q4FY26, registering a 7.5% year-on-year growth. The growth was driven by strong demand in both decorative paints and industrial coatings segments.

The company’s EBITDA increased 30.6% YoY to ₹216.5 crore, while adjusted net profit rose 20.7% to ₹130.7 crore during the quarter.

Margin Expansion Boosts Investor Sentiment

The company’s EBITDA margin expanded sharply by 196 basis points to 11.1% in Q4FY26. Gross margins also improved as the company benefited from lower raw material and commodity prices during January and February 2026.

Management said recent price hikes should support profitability, and no further price increase may be required if crude oil prices stabilise around $100 per barrel.

The company maintained its near-term EBITDA margin guidance of 13–14%.
