Berger Paints Q2 FY27: revenue +13.2% to Rs 3,200.4 cr, PAT +5.2% to Rs 217.1 cr, standalone PAT -7.3%. EBITDA margin ~11.58% (my arithmetic). Stock closed Rs 510.20 on 5 Nov.
Quick Answer
The Berger Paints share price closed near Rs 510.20 on 5 November after Q2 results: revenue up 13.2% to Rs 3,200.4 crore but profit up only 5.2% to Rs 217.1 crore. My arithmetic puts the EBITDA margin at 11.58%, about 89 basis points below a year ago. A Q2 volume figure was not in the sources I read.
The Berger Paints share price is in focus as the company hopes volume and margin recover after a pale second quarter, and the Berger Paints Q2 results show why. Consolidated revenue rose 13.2% to Rs 3,200.4 crore, but net profit rose only 5.2% to Rs 217.1 crore, and standalone profit fell 7.3%. This note sets out the numbers, the margin arithmetic, what management said, and what the sources do not tell us, including the Q2 volume growth.
The results were announced on Thursday 5 November 2026. Prices are time-stamped to market reports and may differ from the live quote on NSE or BSE. I could not find an 11 November price for the stock.

Berger Paints Q2 FY27 Results: The Numbers
| Metric | Q2 FY27 | Q2 FY26 and change |
|---|---|---|
| Berger Paints share price: consolidated revenue | Rs 3,200.4 crore | Rs 2,827 crore; up 13.2% |
| Berger Paints share price: EBITDA excluding other income | Rs 370.7 crore | Up 5.2%, about Rs 352 crore a year ago |
| Berger Paints share price: consolidated net profit | Rs 217.1 crore | Rs 206.4 crore; up 5.2% |
| Berger Paints share price: standalone revenue | Rs 2,750.1 crore | Up 11.9% |
| Berger Paints share price: standalone net profit | Rs 163.3 crore | Rs 176.3 crore; down 7.3% |
| Berger Paints share price: profit before tax | About Rs 285 crore | Rs 274.61 crore; up 4% |
| Berger Paints share price: EPS | Rs 1.86 | Rs 1.77; up about 5% |
In the Berger Paints Q2 results, revenue grew about 2.5 times as fast as profit. Standalone profit fell even though standalone revenue rose, so the weaker margin shows up in the core paint business and was cushioned in the group by industrial, construction chemical and international operations. Berger said market share was stable at the end of the quarter.

Berger Paints EBITDA Margin: Where the Pressure Sits
| Measure | Figure | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Berger Paints share price: Q2 FY27 EBITDA margin | About 11.58% | Rs 370.7 crore on Rs 3,200.4 crore (my arithmetic) |
| Berger Paints share price: Q2 FY26 EBITDA margin | About 12.5% | About Rs 352 crore on Rs 2,827 crore (my arithmetic) |
| Berger Paints share price: change | About 89 basis points lower | My arithmetic |
| Berger Paints share price: Q1 FY27 margin | About 16.95% | MarketsMojo; Q2 is a seasonally soft quarter |
| Berger Paints share price: Q1 FY27 profit | Rs 405 crore on Rs 3,584 crore revenue | Up 28.6%; Q2 profit is about 46% lower than Q1 |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: first-half profit | Rs 622.1 crore | Up 19.3%; first-half revenue Rs 6,784.1 crore, up 12.5% |
The Berger Paints Q2 results show a drop from 16.95% in Q1 to 11.58% in Q2, which is large, though management called Q2 a seasonally soft quarter. The CEO, Abhijit Roy, said there are no signs of easing in raw material inflation, and the company listed forex volatility, geopolitical uncertainty and input supply and price disruption as risks to margins. I do not know how much of the Q1 profit was one-off, and the sources do not say.

Berger Paints Share Price: What the Market Did
| Date and point | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Berger Paints Q2 results: 4 November close (implied) | Rs 484.50 | Previous close quoted by BusinessToday |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: 5 November close | Rs 510.20 | Day of the results |
| Berger Paints share price: 5 November move | Reported as 2%, over 4% and 5.3% | The three reports differ; Rs 510.20 on Rs 484.50 is 5.3% (my arithmetic) |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: 17 September snapshot | Rs 448.15 | Univest data page |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: 11 November | Not available | No reliable quote found |
The three reports of the Berger Paints share price move on 5 November cannot all be right, so use the exchange for the exact figure. A Berger Paints share price rise on results day despite a pale profit growth suggests the market had expected worse or liked the revenue, but that is my reading and not a stated reason. Peers such as Asian Paints have their own volume and margin trends, so compare each filing and not only the headlines.
What Volume and Margin Recovery Would Need
| Question | What I could and could not find |
|---|---|
| Berger Paints Q2 results: Q2 FY27 volume growth | Not found in the sources I read |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: Q2 FY26 base | Volume up 8.8% and value up only 1.1%, so a soft base for value growth |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: price hikes | Management had cited staggered hikes of up to 12% to 13% on the Q1 call, per a data site |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: raw material trend | No easing, per the CEO |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: competition | Aggressive pricing by newer entrants was cited by a brokerage in May 2026 |
In the Berger Paints Q2 results, on a low base, revenue growth of 13.2% may owe a lot to price increases, though the company has not split price and volume in the sources I could read. Margin recovery needs either lower input costs or enough pricing to absorb them, and the CEO says costs are not easing. The Q2 volume figure and the Q3 outlook are the two items to read in the call transcript.
Checklist and Risks
| Investor situation | Questions to consider |
|---|---|
| Berger Paints Q2 results: existing holder | Is one soft quarter a pause or a sign that margins have reset lower? |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: new investor | Have I read the volume and margin commentary and not only the profit headline? |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: short-term trader | Can I handle a swing on the next input cost or demand update? |
| Berger Paints Q2 results: long-term investor | Do competition and raw material swings fit my time horizon? |
After the Berger Paints Q2 results, the main risks are persistent input cost inflation, competitive pricing, a weak festive or rural demand pattern, forex and geopolitical shocks, and the chance that the Q1 profit base was flattered. A recovery in margin is not assured.
Conclusion
The Berger Paints Q2 results showed revenue up 13.2% to Rs 3,200.4 crore and profit up 5.2% to Rs 217.1 crore, with the EBITDA margin near 11.58%. Management sees no easing in raw material costs, and the Q2 volume figure is not in the sources I read. Read the filing and consult a SEBI-registered adviser before acting.
