With the earnings season entering its third week, the Street will keep its eyes on these 59 BSE listed companies announcing their earnings on Tuesday. Among the Nifty companies will be Asian Paints and Tata Consumer Products Limited (TCIL), whose results will be keenly watched.

Here's what to expect from the earnings of Asian Paints, Vodafone Idea and TCPL:

Asian Paints Q3 preview

Asian Paints is likely to deliver a stable performance in the December quarter, with better volumes and margin improvement partially countered by weak pricing and a subdued demand backdrop. On average, five brokerages expect revenue to rise around 5% year-on-year in Q3, while profit after tax (PAT) is estimated to increase by about 8% compared with last year.

Brokerages largely concur that revenue growth in Q3 is likely to stay modest despite improving volume momentum. Systematix expects volumes to grow around 10% year-on-year, but believes flattish net pricing and an unfavourable mix will cap topline expansion.

Vodafone Idea

Telecom company Vodafone Idea is likely to post a subdued performance in the December quarter, with muted revenue growth and widening losses, as modest gains in average revenue per user (ARPU) continue to be offset by persistent subscriber churn. Estimates from an average of five brokerages suggest revenue may rise by just about 1% year-on-year in Q3, while net losses are expected to widen to around Rs 6,700–7,000 crore.

Brokerages broadly expect Vodafone Idea’s revenue to remain largely flat on a quarter-on-quarter basis, with limited upside from marginal ARPU improvement. Kotak Equities forecasts revenue growth of around 0.6% QoQ, driven by slightly better ARPU but largely neutralised by continued subscriber losses. Motilal Oswal also expects sequentially flat revenue, citing user base erosion offsetting pricing benefits.

Tata Consumer

Elara Capital has estimated TCPL’s PAT at Rs 400 crore for Q3FY26, reflecting a 39% year-on-year increase, though down 2% sequentially. Revenue is projected at Rs 4,960 crore, implying a 12% YoY growth and largely flat quarter-on-quarter performance. EBITDA is expected at Rs 690 crore, up 23% YoY and 3% higher on a QoQ basis.
