Centrum Broking Report

Notwithstanding improving business performance ITC Ltd. went through painful price underperformance and high disbelief on the street regarding its food business, which prompted us to initiate ITC as our ‘Lionheart Series’ stock in September 2020.

It had all the right ingredients for our ‘Lionheart series’ i.e. cigarette business with strong moat (cashcow), high free cash flow among fast moving consumer goods peers, yet high disbelief on its diversification and huge valuation discount to its peers.
