The ITC share price rose +1.79% to Rs 285.00 on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, as the Nifty FMCG index surged 1.68% to 49,262 to become the best-performing sector index on a day where most cyclical sectors are under pressure. The ITC share price opened at Rs 280.00 and hit a day high of Rs 285.85, gaining significantly from the previous close of Rs 280.00. The FMCG sector rally is driven by defensive buying as investors rotate from metals (-1.04%), media (-1.64%), and PSU banks (-0.63%) into consumer staples amid ongoing US-Iran geopolitical tensions and crude oil price uncertainty. Input cost easing and a valuation reset after the Nifty FMCG’s 13% year-to-date decline are the other key drivers bringing institutional investors back to stocks like ITC.

About ITC
ITC is unique among FMCG stocks as a conglomerate with a P/E of ~15x, significantly below pure-play FMCG peers at 40-70x. This discount reflects the cigarette business’s ESG-related institutional selling pressure and lower growth expectations. However, the non-cigarette FMCG, hotels recovery, and agribusiness segments provide diversification. ITC’s Hotels business is expected to be demerged, which could unlock significant value for shareholders.
ITC Q4 FY26 Performance
Q4 FY26 adjusted net profit rose 6.1% year on year. Cigarette volumes grew 6.5% YoY in Q4 FY26, reflecting steady recovery. FMCG segment (non-cigarette) grew 11% YoY led by staples like atta and biscuits. ITC is a diversified conglomerate with businesses in cigarettes, FMCG, hotels, agribusiness, IT, and paperboards. The non-cigarette FMCG portfolio includes 25+ brands.
Why FMCG Stocks Are Leading Today
The FMCG sector is the top-performing sector today for four key reasons. First, defensive institutional rotation: as geopolitical risk from the US-Iran conflict keeps markets volatile, fund managers shift toward consumer staples with predictable earnings. Second, input cost tailwinds: crude oil derivatives, palm oil, and agricultural commodities have eased, supporting FMCG margins in Q1 FY27. Third, valuation reset: the Nifty FMCG index is down 13% year to date, bringing forward P/E near the 10-year historical average and attracting value investors. Fourth, rural demand recovery: with a normal monsoon forecast for 2026, rural purchasing power and volume growth are expected to accelerate in H2 FY27, supporting medium-term earnings for FMCG companies.
