companies. The parameters used to study the trends are Fundamental Analysis
and Technical Analysis. Fundamental analysis contains Ratio’s which are used
to study Growth% ,Gross Profit Margin, Return on equity, earning per share,
price to book ratio, price to sales etc of the companies. In Technical Analysis
we studied the opening price and closing price of the shares, and the trends of
these companies, where it can help us to understand in which company we need

price and if any investor wants to invest in this company he will get the long
term benefit.
1. Introduction
Fast Moving consumer goods(FMCG) is a sector in which the products can be sold
quickly and at relatively low cost which includes not durable goods like soft drinks,
toys, drugs and many other consumables. The FMCG term was given by MR. Neil
H.Borden in the concept of marketing mix in the year 1965. FMCG has a shorter shelf
life which leads to high consumer demand because the product deteriorates rapidly.
The profit margin made by FMCG products is relatively small so they are generally
sold in large quantities to the producers or suppliers. The cumulative profits on these
products can be substantial.So the FMCG sector is probably the most unique case of
low margin and high volume business.The Top FMCG companies are

20. Concepts and Analysis
1. Earnings
The key element all investors look after is earnings. Before investing in a company
you want to know how much the company is making in profits. Future earnings are a
key factor as the future prospects of the company's business and potential growth
opportunities are determinants of the stock price.
From the Earnings per share graph we can say that EPS is good in case of Colgate,
when compared with other 3 companies.
2. Profit Margins
Amount of earnings do not tell the full story, increasing earnings are good but if the
cost increases more than revenues then the profit margin is not improving. The profit
margin measures how much the company keeps in earnings out of every Rupee of
their revenues. This measure is therefore very useful for comparing similar
companies, within the same industry.Higher profit margin indicates that the company
has better control over its costs than its competitors.
From the Net profit Margin graph, we can say that Net Profit Margin is good in case
of ITC Company.
3. Return on Equity (ROE)
Return of equity (ROE) is a financial ratio that does not account for the stock price.
Since it ignores the price entirely it is by many thought of as THE most important
financial measure. It can basically be thought of as the parent ratio that always needs
to be considered.

21. This ratio is a measure of how efficient a company is in generating its profits.
From the Return on Equity graph, we can say that Return on Equity is good in
case of ITC .
4. Price-to-Earnings (P/E)
A high P/E indicates that the stock is priced relatively high to its earnings, and
companies with higher P/E therefore seem more expensive..
This ratio does not tell the full story since it does not account for growth. Normally,
companies with high earnings growth are traded at higher P/E values than companies
with more moderate growth rate. Accordingly, if the company is growing rapidly and
is expected to maintain its growth in the future this current market price might not
seem so expensive.
From the graph of P/E Godrej P/E ratio has increased so much whereas Colgate and
ITC has almost consistent trend.
5.Earnings Yield:
As per the graph the Earning yield is good in case ITC.
