The trend of decline in the stock market is showing no sign of stopping. On January 10 also, Sensex and Nifty closed with a decline. The stock market has not yet seen a pre-budget rally. Market experts say that now the market can see a rise only after the presentation of the Union Budget on February 1. However, due to the ongoing decline in the market since October 2024, the prices of many stocks have come down to very attractive levels. In such a situation, this is a big opportunity to invest in those stocks, which may rise after the big announcement in the budget. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman can make big announcements to increase consumption in the Union Budget 2025. This will have a direct impact on FMCG stocks. Betting on some FMCG stocks now can yield big profits in a few weeks.
HUL will benefit the most from the government’s consumption boosting measures announced in the budget. It is the largest company in the FMCG sector. The company’s product range is very large. Now even in villages, people’s interest in branded products is increasing. The performance of HUL shares has been poor in the last one year. The company’s stock has disappointed investors, as it has fallen by 5 percent. At the end of September this share was around Rs 3,000. Since then it has fallen to Rs 2,440. This is an opportunity to invest in shares at attractive levels.
ITC is one of the largest companies in the FMCG sector. The product portfolio of this company is quite diversified. The company also manufactures stationery products, which are not affected by the economic slowdown. If Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman makes big announcements to increase consumption on February 1, then ITC will benefit the most. Due to this, ITC shares may see a rise as soon as the budget is presented. ITC stock has not given any returns in the last one year. It has fallen by 4.20 percent in the last one year. At the end of September 2024, this share was at Rs 522. Now its price has come down to Rs 443. If you invest now, you can earn great profits in this stock.
Marico’s product portfolio is quite large. There are good sales of the company’s products in rural areas. If the government takes big steps in the Union Budget 2025 to increase demand in rural areas, then companies like Marico will benefit the most. Marico shares have given about 27 percent returns to investors in the last one year. The downward trend in the market that has started since October has shown very little impact on this stock. This shows the strength of this stock. If you invest now, you can earn good income.
