MUMBAI – Shares of fast-moving consumer goods companies are expected to move in a tight range next week, as the sector lacks an immediate trigger for a substantial move in the near term, analysts said. The Nifty FMCG index is awaiting a breakout in either direction, with the index swinging between gains and losses this week, they said.
The market is waiting for a boost in demand to show in the earnings numbers of FMCG companies, which may then help the stocks gain some traction, a FMCG analyst at a domestic broking firm said. Analysts are not very bullish on FMCG stocks, given their range-bound momentum over the past few months.
Rising input costs and high crude oil prices have prompted FMCG majors to raise product prices or reduce pack sizes. However, low wage growth has, in turn, affected demand, alongside other headwinds for the sector. Although companies have shown a recovery in sales and volumes in the March quarter, rising inflation and El Nio are expected to remain an overhang on the sector's outlook, according to analysts.
The FMCG sector was among the sectors with the largest outflows of foreign institutional investment in May. During the month, FIIs offloaded $372 million in FMCG stocks. This was higher than the $343 million in FMCG stocks sold by FIIs in April and a sharp contrast to the $95 million in stocks bought in May last year.
Most FMCG stocks closed in the red Friday, with United Breweries and Tata Consumer Products being the worst performers in the Nifty FMCG index, falling almost 2?ch. Hindustan Unilever was the top gainer in the pack, ending over 2% higher on Friday. During the week, Patanjali Foods declined nearly 8%, while United Breweries gained 0.3%.
The Nifty FMCG index fell by over 2% during the week, sharply higher than the 0.8?ll in the Nifty 50. Nifty FMCG closed at 48302.45 points, up 0.2%. Analysts peg the index to face resistance at 48700 points and find support at 47850 points next week.
