Manoj Menon, Head-Research & Consumer Analyst at ICICI Securities, says the FMCG sector may not see broad-based gains as demand headwinds and competition weigh on earnings. He believes the space will be stock-specific, with strong players like Marico, Godrej Consumer and Tata Consumer outperforming. While input cost pressures remain a risk, he sees opportunities in select companies as consumption gradually recovers.
