FMCG Sector - The Hidden
Gem in Market
The CNX FMCG Index is
designed to reflect the behavior and performance of FMCGs (Fast Moving Consumer
Goods) which are non-durable, mass consumption products and available off the
shelf. The CNX FMCG Index comprises of 15 stocks from FMCG sector listed on the
National Stock Exchange (NSE). FMCG sector is
known as the defensive player in market for its continuous growth regardless to
the market sentiment. In the year 2008-2009 when Nifty fallen by more than 60%
in a sharp downfall, even that time this sector continued to provide positive
returns to long term and short term investors.
We want to take
this sector in focus due to its continuous growth supported by domestic demands.
Most of the FMCG stocks are trading at high PE ratio and there is no sign to
have a pause in their growth story. We can have a look upon the sector index
that have been performed well and we are expecting to continue the trend for next
decade.
We can have
some examples here, if we calculate the returns have generated by Dabur, that
is huge. In the year 2004, it was trading around Rs.15/- only and the current
price of that stock is around Rs.300/-. Now we can calculate the return
percentage easily. Same thing we can found in each and every other FMCG stocks. Definitely there is a safe heaven is hidden for long term investment.
