FMCG revenues to rise in Q2, but costs could dent margins
Indian markets moved higher in a quarterly results development.
· ET Stocks, Economic Times Markets
India's FMCG sector is poised for a substantial revenue boost in the upcoming September quarter, with growth projected in double digits. This rise is attributed to an increase in both product volume and strategic pricing tactics across diverse categories. However, the ongoing surge in raw material costs, particularly for items like sugar and edible oils, may exert pressure on profit margins.
The analysis
Earnings versus expectations is what actually re-rates a stock; the surprise matters more than the absolute number.
