MC Graphixstory | FIIs cut stake in frontline FMCG stocks on weak sales growth in Q3
Money Control
·
1y ago
Medial
Foreign investors have reduced their stake in leading fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies in India due to weak volume sales growth in the third quarter of 2024. Hindustan Unilever, ITC, Nestle India, Britannia Industries, and Dabur India all saw decreases in foreign institutional investor (FII) holdings. The decline in FMCG stocks has been attributed to sluggish rural demand and challenges such as erratic rains and low savings induced by the pandemic. However, mid-sized FMCG firms experienced increased FII investments. Analysts expect a rebound in the sector driven by economic stimuli and a hike in minimum support prices.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have sold shares worth Rs 1 lakh crore over 33 days due to global policy shifts, particularly in the US, which have caused uncertainty. Rising US bond yields make US assets appear more secure, prompting FIIs to move away from Indian stocks. Additionally, slow corporate sales growth in India contributes to this capital exodus. The market is expected to remain volatile, influenced by US tariffs on India and uncertain domestic growth.

The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is poised for growth, with technical and seasonal trends indicating continued gains. The Nifty FMCG index has been outperforming the benchmark and is expected to maintain this momentum. Despite previous underperformance from rising input costs and weak demand, investor sentiment is improving due to macroeconomic factors like favorable monsoons and interest rate cuts. Analysts suggest going overweight on FMCG stocks as cyclical headwinds are expected to recede.

Hindustan Unilever reported flat volume growth in Q3, indicating slowed urban consumption, with notable consumer shifts towards smaller packs due to budget management. Net profit surged 19% year-on-year, aided by a divestment gain, but core sales faced pressure from inflated commodity prices. HUL plans to demerge its ice cream business and acquired a stake in Minimalist to expand into higher growth markets. The slowdown in FMCG volumes highlights ongoing consumer budget constraints linked to inflation.

The Indian market continued its upward momentum and reached fresh record highs during the week ending September 20. This was largely driven by the unexpected 50 basis points interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve, as well as positive factors such as a fall in jobless claims, inflow of foreign institutional investors (FIIs), and expectations of a similar move by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The BSE Sensex and Nifty50 indices both posted gains, with the BSE Mid-cap and Large-cap indices also showing positive movements. The Nifty Realty, Bank, Auto, and FMCG sectors made notable gains, while the IT, Media, and Pharma sectors experienced declines. The Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar, and FIIs continued to buy equities in the Indian market.

A heavy monsoon season is great news for these Indian stocks

Stocks of Indian companies with significant revenue from rural areas are experiencing a revival as traders anticipate a boost in rural demand due to predicted favorable monsoon rains. Motorcycle manufacturers, farm equipment makers, and producers of fast-moving consumer goods have seen improved sales volumes in rural areas. The Nifty FMCG Index has outperformed the benchmark NSE Nifty 50 Index, rising 1.5 percent in May. Analysts remain cautious, noting that the recovery is still based on hope rather than a meaningful increase in earnings or sales volumes. However, investors' interest in rural sector stocks has grown as India's investment-driven growth shows signs of slowing.

Infosys is expected to announce weak Q3 results, with a sequential drop in revenues and margins. The overall Indian IT sector is also expected to report subdued earnings for the quarter due to weak demand. However, better utilization, lower sub-con expenses, and INR depreciation may help offset some of the challenges for Infosys. The company's Q3 revenue in USD terms is predicted to decline, while net profit is expected to drop slightly. Analysts anticipate Infosys to maintain its guidance for FY24 growth.
