JPMorgan's Q1 FY27 FMCG preview ranks packaged foods highest for revenue growth, followed by HPC and alcobev, with tobacco last. ITC faces sharply lower revenue on high base; Marico and Nestle poised for strong EBITDA.

Why this matters

ITC recently hit a 52-week high at Rs 327.70 and posted Q1 FY26 net profit up 3%, with cigarettes and agri offsetting FMCG margin pressure. JPMorgan's tobacco-last ranking adds fresh revenue caution.
