Budget 2025: Will ITC shares Budget day winning streak survive tax hike uncertainty?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] India’s Union Budget has historically been a favourable occasion for ITC shares, with the cigarettes-to-hotels conglomerate's stock closing higher on nine of the last ten Budget days, averaging a 1.86% gain since 2017. However, traders remain cautious this year, given speculation that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman may raise excise duties on cigarettes for the first time in three years. India had two Budgets in both 2019 and 2024 due to general elections, with interim Budgets in February followed by full-fledged Budgets later in the year. The ITC stock surged 4.51% on Budget day in 2017, followed by gains of 1.51% in 2018, 0.74% in February 2019, and 0.63% in July 2019, when the newly elected government presented its full-year Budget. The only exception to this trend came in 2020, when the stock plunged 6.97% after an unexpected increase in National Calamity Contingent Duty (NCCD) on cigarettes.

Budget will keep ITC investors on tenterhooks, Nuvama says sharp tax hike unlikely

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] With India gearing up for its Union Budget on February 1, investors in ITC will be watching closely as tax policy on cigarettes takes center stage. Brokerage Nuvama Research has predicted a low likelihood of a sharp tax hike, citing recent trends and the impact of urban economic slowdown on legal cigarette volumes. The cigarette segment remains a crucial revenue driver for ITC, contributing more than four-fifths of tobacco tax revenue in India despite accounting for less than 10% of total tobacco consumption. ITC has actively countered illicit trade by introducing differentiated and premium cigarette offerings under brands such as Classic, Gold Flake, and Bristol, Nuvama noted. Nuvama Research said that a modest tax hike last year and gradual recovery in legal cigarette volumes, which grew approximately 3% year-over-year (YoY), make significant tax increases improbable for the upcoming budget. However, any potential sharp hike—exceeding 1...
