Berger Paints gains on budget proposal of reducing the import duty on titanium dioxide

19 Mar 2012 Evaluate

Berger Paints India is currently trading at Rs 104.45, up by 2.15 points or 2.10% from its previous closing of Rs 102.30 on the BSE.

The scrip opened at Rs 106.00 and has touched a high and low of Rs 107.90 and Rs 103.00 respectively. So far 10513 shares were traded on the counter.

The BSE group 'B' stock of face value Rs 2 has touched a 52 week high of Rs 117.75 on 11-Nov-2011 and a 52 week low of Rs. 78.15 on 21-Dec-2011.

Last one week high and low of the scrip stood at Rs 108.35 and Rs 101.20 respectively. The current market cap of the company is Rs 3591.34 crore.

The promoters holding in the company stood at 75.57% while Institutions and Non-Institutions held 12.27% and 12.16% respectively.

The stock has gained momentum amidst sluggish trade as the proposal of reducing the import duty on titanium dioxide, a key ingredient for paint, in the Union Budget 2012-13, is seen as positive for the company. The prices of titanium dioxide prices are at a record high and have rose at least by 5 per cent since January 2012. The cut in the duty compensates for the hike in the price by global makers of titanium dioxide.

However, other paint stocks in the likes of Asian Paints, Kansai Nerolac Paints and Shalimar Paints are all trading in red as the proposal of hike in the excise duty in Budget 2012 is set to hurt profit growth of these companies.
