FMCG Q2FY27 preview: 6 stocks HDFC Sec likes; Honasa, Nestlé, Emami, Bikaji, Britannia, Godrej Consumer - check targets
HDFC Bank moved higher in a quarterly results development for Q2FY27.
7 Oct 2026 · LiveMint Markets
Indian FMCG companies face a mixed Q2FY27 earnings season, with expected revenue growth supported by a softer base and selective price hikes, but persistent raw material inflation may pressure margins. HSIE Research maintains an underweight stance due to weak earnings visibility.
Key facts
- Period
- Q2FY27
The analysis
Against that, the stock is -1.2% on the day at ₹702.75, and has returned -15.3% over three months. It sits 30% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The banks sector has moved -3.6% over the same period, so HDFC Bank is running 11.7 points behind its peers.
For HDFC Bank, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- Earnings versus expectations is what actually re-rates a stock; the surprise matters more than the absolute number.
- Rate decisions ripple straight into banks, NBFCs and every rate-sensitive sector — from real estate to autos.
Market context
- The company directly in focus is HDFCBANK.
- Sector exposure: Banks, FMCG, Consumer & Retail.
