- Period
- Q2 FY27
The analysis
ITC reported Rs 4,137 crore and Rs 4,129 crore for Q2 FY27, with movement of 20% and 20.1% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +0.3% on the day at ₹266.40, and has returned -5.2% over three months. It sits 36% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The fmcg sector has moved -8.7% over the same period, so ITC is running 3.5 points ahead of its peers.
For ITC, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the fmcg 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.

- Over three months: ITC -5.2% against FMCG -8.7% (3.5 points ahead).
