Investing.com -- The general consensus in the market is that pandemic or no, FMCG is here to grow. There is a lot of growth left in India in terms of consumption.

Brokerages are bullish on Marico Ltd (NS: MRCO ), the makers of Parachute. Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd (NS: MOFS ) has given it a price target of Rs 470. That’s an upside of 11% from current levels.

Religare Broking has given Marico a price target of Rs 450 while Sharekhan has given it a target of Rs 477.

Yield Maximisers Founder Yogesh Mehta, told Economic Times in an interview that he believes Marico is a strong bet for the future. The company is seeing double-digit domestic growth after a long time and it has a long way to go. Mehta added that there is a lot of headroom for growth for Marico.

According to Motilal Oswal, Parachute has performed better than expected while Saffola edible oil has continued to deliver double-digit growth as did Value Added Hair Oils. Its international business also saw rapid growth with Bangladesh also growing in double digits.

Marico reported sales of Rs 1,989 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. This was 8.75% from the corresponding quarter in 2019 when it recorded sales of Rs 1,829 crore. Marico reported a profit of Rs 273 crore for the September quarter.
