    Investment Rationale
    Asian Paints' dominance remains untouched given its strong distribution/supply chain moat and better-aligned product portfolio. However, at 55x Sept-22 P/E, pluses seem more than priced in. It assigns a DCF-based TP of Rs. 1,800/sh (implying 50x Sep-22 P/E). Implied assumptions: (1) 10-year APNT revenue CAGR: 12%, (2) FY20-41 FCFF CAGR: 12.7%, (3) WACC: 10.5%, (4) Terminal growth: 6%.
