Mean Reversion Coming Volume led growth: FMCG & Appliance universe in 2HFY18 is

expected to recover primarily aided with a low base, recovering trade channels and buoyant consumer offtake (Urban & Rural). Our checks with channels and companies’ management suggest healthy recovery in the business. Trade channels (including Wholesale and CSD) have begun to normalize, witnessed a minor blip post GST rate revision (Nov’17) for few products. International business is expected to recover due to improving consumer confidence index for key geographies and favorable base (geo-political issues, unfavorable currencies). We expect EBITDA growth of our universe to outpace revenue growth driven by soft commodity inflation, favorable base and operating leverage. We expect the FMCG and Appliance universe to register revenue/EBITDA growth of 11/16% and 16/25% YoY, respectively during 3QFY18.

Optimism continues: We are encouraged by a sustainable healthy underlying demand in the last six to eight months. Improving consumer offtake, favourable base of the next three quarters and more populist measures from the govt. would result into healthy operating performance in the ensuing quarters.

Outliers in FMCG: We expect operational performance of Jubilant FoodWorks, HUL, Britannia and Colgate in 3QFY18 to be better than others.

Outliers in Appliances: We expect operations performance of V-Guard, Havells and Voltas in 3QFY18 to be better than others.

Interglobe & Spicejet are expected to report strong results driven by pax growth, improvement in yield and stable rupee despite surge in crude. Elevated crude prices ($69/bbl) remain a risk to the sector.

Our top picks in FMCG: ITC, Marico and Dabur Our top picks in Consumer Appliances: Havells, V-Guard, Crompton

FMCG: Expect 11% Sales And 16% EBITDA Growth

Appliances: Expect 16% Sales And 25% EBITDA Growth
