Its hotels business staged a strong recovery, which is expected to continue with the opening up of the economy. The meaningful appreciation in ITC’s shares has led to a few analysts reducing their rating on the stock. Meanwhile, the ITC stock is still almost 10% away from its all-time high seen in July 2017. Analysts expect the momentum in cigarettes, hotels and paper businesses to continue for the rest of FY23, putting the company in a relatively better position vis-à-vis other fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies that are battling costs as well as demand pressures. The company reckons the rise is led by recent launches, which continue to gather traction and volume recovery from illicit trade. Its June quarter (Q1FY23) results have prompted many analysts to upgrade their earnings estimates for this financial year and the next.
