Going forward, analysts recommend investors to employ a ‘buy on dips’ strategy. A<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/buy-on-dips-say-analysts-as-indian-markets-bounce-back-smartly-in-october/articleshow/95454116.cms"> ‘buy on dips’ strategy</a> is when investors look for short-term declines in share price to invest in the stock, with the belief that it will go up in the long term. Key amongst the drivers of Indian equity markets in April will be the earnings season, with TCS kicking it off on April 12, followed by Infosys and HDFC Bank. “We believe the macro and the upcoming earnings season will drive the market direction moving forward and hence Q4 FY23 earnings remain critical at this juncture,” said a report by Axis Securities. Foreign institutional investors (FII) have so far sold equities worth $6.1 billion in 2023 so far, but the analysts at Axis Securities believe that the worst of FII selloff is behind us now. Going forward, the brokerage believes that economic recovery and corporate earnings will take centrestage. Nifty50’s current valuations provide a ‘good entry point’ The benchmark Nifty50 index declined by 3.3% in 2023 so far, and the recent correction has dragged down the index’ price-to-earnings multiple to 17.4x on a 12-month forward basis. This is below its 5-year average of 18.8x. “Current valuations are below the 5-year average (18.8x), providing a good entry point for long-term investors,” said the Axis Securities report. In terms of sectors, the brokerage says that valuations of PSU banks, metal, and energy look attractive, while IT, pharma and auto sectors look expensive. Analysts at Goldman Sachs are overweight on banks, industrials and cement companies, while those at Morgan Stanley are bullish on the financial and consumer discretionary sectors. Capitalise on dips, say analysts Following on from the see-saw movement seen in March, analysts expect volatility to persist in the Indian equity markets in April due to global uncertainties. However, investors can capitalise on this volatility to employ a ‘buy on dips’ strategy. “Bouts of volatility cannot be ruled out owing to global uncertainties. Thus, dips should be capitalised on to accumulate quality stocks,” the analysts at ICICI Direct said. Echoing similar sentiments, analysts at Goldman Sachs recommend buying on dips, saying, “The valuation of the stocks is reasonable, though still not cheap. The relative premium to the region has halved from a record peak and the returns would be driven by 17%/15% earnings growth in 2023/24.” There is also a growing consensus amongst brokerages that Nifty50 might end this year around 20,000. While Axis Securities maintained its target of 20,400 for the benchmark index by the end of this year, Goldman Sachs said in a note that Nifty50 is likely to touch 20,000 in the next 12 months thanks to double-digit earnings growth in FY24. Going forward, here are the top picks of analysts across categories: <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;" class="redcator-table-advance"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td

Even the Narendra Modi government likes to <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/india-gdp-in-ppp-terms-more-than-bdeshs-govt/articleshow/78671559.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">cite the country’s purchasing power when cornered</a>. But even that is on a slide, a not-so-merry one. It’s hardly a surprise given the knockout punch that the COVID-19 virus has delivered. Businesses looking to protect their bottomline have laid off a lot of employees, and many of those who still have jobs aren’t earning as much as they used to. On the other hand, <a href="https://zeenews.india.com/markets/sensex-hits-fresh-record-high-tops-44000-level-2325095.html" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Sensex has kissed new highs</a> because corporate profits have surged in the latest quarterly statements. However, as Mahesh Vyas from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, a business information firm, pointed out, between July and September 2020, corporate profits grew over 20%, the rebound in wages was just 3.8% after a sharp fall in the preceding quarter. And this is likely to be a continuing trend. As <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/why-companies-profits-have-rebounded-faster-than-wages-during-covid-pandemic/articleshow/79308002.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Vyas put it</a>, “The lockdown has taught companies a lesson or two on running business with fewer human resources. These lessons are unlikely to be forgotten.” That’s bad news for companies looking to sell cars, jewellery, home appliances, and even shares and other financial investments. There is more evidence of where the profits are flowing from. All the companies analysed by broking firm Motilal Oswal, put together, saw a decline of 7% in sales but a 16% jump in profit after tax. Simply put, most of the profit came from cost cutting and not a rise in demand. Consumer insights firm Nielsen recently explained the phenomenon. The Indian consumer is trading down in certain segments, those who can are buying larger packs to save money, and opting for more private labels. And that’s visible in the gross margin ⁠— before costs like wages, advertisements and promotion are deducted ⁠— of some of biggest names in consumer products. <table style="width: 233pt;"> </colgroup> <tbody><tr> <td class="xl63" style="height:45.0pt;width:129pt">Company</td> <td class="xl64" style="border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none; width: 104pt;">July-Sep gross margin change (basis points)</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Bajaj Consumer</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">-74</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Agro Tech Foods</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">-183</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Jyothy Labs</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">128</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">ITC</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">-163</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Dabur</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">9</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">HUL</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">-128</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Emami</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">55</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Marico</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">-163</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Nestle</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">56</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Colgate</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">344</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Godrej Consumer</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">-57</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Britannia</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">176</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Varun Beverages</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">-149</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Tata Consumer Products</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">-269</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl63" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Aggregate</td> <td class="xl63" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">-220</td> </tr></tbody></table>Source: IIFL, Change compared to same period last year Rational people spend more on discretionary items like cars and appliances when they save more. And the larger pessimism is visible in <a href="https://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/Publications/PDFs/CCS09102023E6F5FCA08F4C4BAB9F599F5D9DC754.PDF" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">the consumer confidence data</a>, put out by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which is breaking the charts on the wrong side. People do not expect to spend more on non-essential items even in the next one year. <div type="image" title="rbi ccs" msid="79317971" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Indian consumer&amp;#39;s expectation of spending on non-essential items is abysmally low.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Indian consumer’s ability or willingness to spend had started eroding long before the pandemic. And, on an average, there has been a steady decline in household savings in India, to a point that this year’s estimate is the lowest since at least 2012. The pinch is much worse for people who are retired, many of whom living on their savings lying at the banks. The interest on long-term fixed deposits make less money compared to the savings account, which is much lower than the current inflation. Essentially, people are paying banks rent to keep their money safe instead of earning from it. <div type="image" title="India household savings" msid="79318175" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;India household savings, both financial &amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;redactor-invisible-space&amp;quot;&amp;gt;and in physical assets like gold, are sharply down in the last five years.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> This should concern markets as well as policymakers. "GDP is an aggregative indicator of economic activity and hides the extent of human misery and the loss of social and human capital caused by the health crisis. Nonetheless, if the projections hold, the GDP would have fallen approximately 6% below its pre-COVID level and it may take years to regain this lost output,” Deputy Governor of the RBI and a member of the Monetary Policy Committee Michael D Patra recently <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/rate-cut-will-depend-upon-moderation-in-inflation-rbi-governor-shanktikanta-das/articleshow/78829858.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">said</a>. The gloom, too, shall pass eventually. But to experience a boom people need jobs, good wages and a feeling of certainty. And that will only come from new corporate investment that can generate employment. And it has to happen sooner than later. Else, India’s famed demographic dividend would have been squandered.

The announcement was made on the occasion of World Milk Day. “We are extremely bullish on Winkin’ Cow and want to be a dominant player in the milk-based beverages category. We plan to extend our offerings to various segments of the dairy drinks category, from affordable stock keeping units to premium and indulgent experiences and are looking for an all-India outreach with a focus on top metros,” said Varun Berry, managing director of Britannia Industries. Winkin’ Cow has a strong presence in South India, but the company now plans to extend it to the North as well. The company aims to grow its brand by 50-60% annually with the infusion of consumer-led franchise-building as well as portfolio expansions. Abhishek Sinha, chief business officer - dairy business at Britannia Industries added that Wilkin’ Cow is one of Britannia’s most successful product innovations. The brand currently offers milkshakes, flavoured milk and lassi. “The category of dairy beverages in India is evolving and growing rapidly, driven by a large young population and consumers’ inclination to experiment with newer and healthier food and drink formats. Launch of our dairy facility at Ranjangaon is a firm step forward toward this commitment and a huge boost to our vision of making Britannia a global total foods company,” Sinha said. Britannia Industries — which sells products in more than 80 countries across the globe — claims to be growing at the pace of one new geography a year, in terms of local manufacturing operations. The company has a turnover of ₹13,000 crore with several brands under its wing like Good Day, Tiger, NutriChoice, Milk Bikis, Marie Gold, Little Hearts and others. Britannia clocked in a profit of ₹1,516 crore in FY22. The company’s revenue also increased by close to ₹1,000 crore to ₹14,359 crore in the same time frame.

Winkin’ Cow crosses ₹100 crore in sales, boosts Britannia’s vision to become a ‘total’ foods company

Encouraged by volume growth, margin improvement and recovery in rural sales, India's top fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies are now back to their normal growth cycle as they step up investments as well as spending on advertising and marketing. <keyword id="84065" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="fmcg-companies" source="Orion">FMCG companies</keyword> are chasing volume growth again after a gap of a few quarters, offering higher grammage and price cuts thanks to inflationary pressures softening on key raw materials for everything from soaps to food items. Hindustan Unilever (HUL), Dabur, Marico, Godrej Consumer Products, ITC, Tata Consumer Products and Nestle reported volume recovery in the March quarter and said they expect a gradual pickup in consumption in FY24. "The prospects of a sustained recovery have strengthened. After five quarters of volume decline, the sector has posted volume growth," Marico MD and CEO Saugata Gupta said in the company's earnings conference call. "Urban consumption has been steady while rural is showing some convincing signs of having bottomed out." Foods continue to drive growth for the sector, while the home and personal care segment also entered positive territory after an extended slowdown. Marico, which owns popular brands like Saffola, Parachute and Livon, reported an 18.7 per cent increase in its consolidated net profit to Rs 305 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 2023 while sales rose 3.65 per cent to Rs 2,240 crore, driven by single-digit volume growth and moderation in commodity prices. HUL said rural areas have shown improvement with higher value growth sequentially. While HUL's volumes continue to fall, the extent of decline has reduced versus last quarter. "The slowdown in the FMCG market is bottoming out. This improvement was led by volumes, which have turned flat in this quarter, versus a mid-single-digit decline in the December quarter," said HUL CFO Ritesh Tiwari in its earnings call. The makers of popular brands such as Rin, Lux, Surf Excel and Pond's said it expects the price-volume growth to rebalance further. "We expect volumes to recover gradually due to high levels of cumulative inflation and the fact that consumption habits typically recover with a lag," he said. For the March quarter, HUL reported an increase of 12.74 per cent in its consolidated net profit to Rs 2,601 crore. Net sales rose 10.83 per cent to Rs 14,926 crore. However, HUL warned the near-term operating environment is likely to remain volatile due to global slowdown risk and uncertainty related to weather phenomena like El Nino and heatwaves. Abneesh Roy, Nuvama Group Executive Director for Institutional Equities, said the outlook for the <keyword id="495979" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="fmcg-industry" source="Orion">FMCG industry</keyword> was "positive" with volume growth and improvement in margins for most companies in FY24. "As raw material prices are cooling off, companies shall start paring prices via grammage increase or gradual price reductions. Price growth shall ease while volume growth will improve," he said. Roy also cautioned about the impact of El Nino and the "aggression" from billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd, a known disrupter, which aims to be a big player in the USD 110-billion FMCG segment. Meanwhile, Godrej Consumer reported an 11.47 per cent increase in its India revenue to Rs 1,822.92 crore in the March quarter. This was led by volume growth of 11 per cent. Its home care segment, which consists of household insecticides and air fresheners, grew 14 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively. "We expect to build on the current momentum and deliver volume-led growth along with upfront marketing investments and improvement in profitability," said its Managing Director and CEO Sudhir Sitapati. Britannia Executive Vice-Chairman and Managing Director Varun Berry also expressed optimism. "Volume growth will be certainly much better than this year," he said. On commodity prices, Berry said there is deflation in prices of palm oil, laminates and corrugated material for packing but flour and milk prices are soaring. "There are certain brands and certain packs where we have already initiated price reductions or promotions," he said. In the March quarter, Britannia reported a 47.53 per cent jump in consolidated net profit to Rs 557.60 crore. Its revenue from operations rose 10.93 per cent to Rs 3,892.02.

"In the near term, we are seeing stability."

On Wednesday, the <keyword id="4066613" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="central-government-team">Central government team</keyword> which visited five districts to assess flood damages in the southern state called on Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. For the last two days, the team toured flood-affected East Godavari, West Godavari, Krishna, Guntur and Anantapur districts. On a request from Reddy, the team visited Anantapur, considering the groundnut crop was extensively damaged. Reddy requested the team to help as much as possible on humanitarian grounds to cope with the damage. He asked the team to relax frequently asked questions while buying damaged crops from farmers as they may suffer even bigger losses. The Chief Minister explained to the central officers that the state government has been providing input subsidy to farmers to cover up losses in the same crop season, even as the subsidy for Kharif losses between May and September has already been paid. Reddy appealed to the team to compensate the flood damages as soon as possible. He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for deputing a central team to Andhra Pradesh.
