In any inflationary environment, it is always advisable to bet on pharmaceutical and FMCG sectors as these are the stock which always outperform the market during the high inflation trends.
As a rule one should identify the companies with low beta (0.5-0.7%) as it ensures that the stock has lesser volatility and in this category stocks which fall are Godrej Consumer Products, Bharat Electricals Ltd, Colgate Palmolive, Dabur, Indraprastha Gas, Dr. Reddy’s, GAIL India, Hindustan Unilever which are low beta stocks with sound fundamentals.
One can have access to stock beta and can make decisions on his own depending on the beta value of the stock for investment purposes.
