MUMBAI – Shares of companies that are a part of the Nifty FMCG index are expected to face some weakness in the near-term, analysts said. This is in line with the ongoing momentum of the sectoral index, which has closed in the red for three consecutive weeks.

Friday, Nifty FMCG index closed 0.5% lower at 55437.20. For the week, the sectoral index closed 1.4% lower, underperforming the benchmark Nifty 50 that closed 0.9% lower.

Patanjali Foods, ITC, and Emami were the worst performers in the Nifty FMCG index this week, each falling over 3%. Dabur India and Radico Khaitan were the top performers, up around 6% this week. Analysts expect the Nifty FMCG index to face resistance at 55800 points and find support at 55340 points.

In the near-term, analysts expect FMCG companies to gain from the new goods and services tax regime. "Consumer names, including autos, should benefit from GST cuts, weaker inflation, and lower interest rates. FMCG companies should see additional impetus from falling input prices that support margins," HSBC Global Investment Research said in a note.

Of the companies that have announced their September quarter earnings so far, analysts said that consumer companies witnessed weak volume growth with GST-related de-stocking hurting volumes.

Only Marico and Emami will report their September quarter earnings next week.
