ITC shares rallied in early trade before paring some gains to close nearly 1% higher at ₹415.75 on Thursday.With the GST Council approving tax cuts in the majority of FMCG products to 5%, while increasing tax for ‘sin goods’ like tobacco-related products, ITC finds itself in an interesting position as it has a strong presence in both categories.The GST Council announced on Wednesday that sin goods, including pan masala, cigarettes, gutka, and chewing tobacco, will be taxed at 40%, with the levy applied to retail prices rather than ex-factory prices.However, the council clarified that tobacco and related products will be the only category to migrate to the new GST 2.0 framework at a later stage.Additionally, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the compensation cess on tobacco products will remain in place until the cess-linked government loans are paid off.“Pan masala, cigarettes, gutkha, and other tobacco products such as chewing tobacco, products like zarda, unmanufactured tobacco, and beedi will continue at their existing rates of GST and compensation cess, where applicable, until the loan and interest payment obligations under the compensation cess account are completely discharged,” Sitharaman said.According to an Economic Times report, cigarettes currently add a 28% GST plus a compensation cess. The specific cess varies from ₹2.1 to ₹4.2 per stick depending on length, with an additional ad valorem of 5% (for sticks up to 74 mm) and 36% (for 84 mm).Analyst TakeThe recent GST announcement has provided a clear push for FMCG stocks and weighed heavily on sin goods. However, ITC finds itself in a tricky middle ground, given its strong presence in both segments. This mixed positioning is also reflected in ITC’s weekly chart pattern, according to SEBI-registered <a href="https://stocktwits.com/Kushghodasara/message/627444627">analyst Kush Ghodasara</a>.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Kushghodasara/message/627444627</stembedurl><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ITC.NSE">ITC's stock</a> appears to be forming a slanting inverted head-and-shoulder pattern, which is not very common. The neckline at ₹427 is acting as a stiff resistance level, Ghodasara noted.Following the GST announcement, ITC once again tested this resistance but was unable to sustain the move and slipped back. While indicators remain tilted in a positive direction, momentum appears to be lacking at the moment, he added.ITC: Trading Strategy&nbsp;He sees two possible trades. In one scenario, traders can&nbsp;buy above ₹427, with targets at ₹495 and a stop loss at ₹405. In the other, a sell setup may unfold if ITC breaks below ₹402, with downside targets at ₹388 and ₹345, keeping a stop loss at ₹426.What Is The Retail Mood?Data on Stocktwits shows that retail sentiment turned from ‘bearish’ to ‘neutral’ on this counter.&nbsp;The stock has fallen around 10% this year so far.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com

Equity

The revised rates will come into effect from September 22.For the fast-moving consumer goods sector, this results in rate cuts across various segments, including hair oil, toothpaste, and soap.GST Cut Across Key Consumer ItemsAs part of the GST rate rationalization, household essentials such as soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hair oil, shaving cream, and coffee will now be taxed at 5%, down from 12% or 18%.Meanwhile, items such as milk, paneer, and Indian breads like roti and paratha will be exempt from GST, with the rate reduced from 5%.

The GST rate revisions have stimulated demand ahead of the upcoming Diwali festive season. They identified FMCG players with a wide daily essentials portfolio (HUL, Dabur, Nestle, Britannia, Patanjali Foods, Marico) as the biggest winners on the government's ‘volume booster’ for the sector.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Finkhoz/message/627442319</stembedurl>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.&nbsp;

Shares of ITC edged higher on Tuesday after touching Monday’s low of ₹405, as selling pressure gripped the stock amid weak consumption trends and speculation around higher tobacco taxation.SEBI-registered analysts Deepak Pal and Pradeep Carpenter noted that ITC's short-term chart pattern remains weak as the stock trades below its 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day moving averages.&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Investogainerresearch/message/625636993</stembedurl>They both observed bearish momentum indicators from the relative strength index (RSI) and moving average convergence divergence (MACD). Support was expected near ₹400–₹390 with a better opportunity for accumulation near ₹360–₹365.Technical OutlookPal said ITC is showing strong selling pressure, with RSI readings around 36 approaching the oversold zone and a continuing negative MACD crossover.&nbsp;He pegged immediate resistance at ₹415–₹420, sustainable only above ₹425, while Carpenter added that the broader structure turns bullish only if the stock decisively clears the ₹415 level.Carpenter noted that the stock has been in a corrective phase since hitting an all-time high of ₹528 in September 2024, lagging the benchmark indices’ recovery.&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/PCRAnalyst/message/625648400</stembedurl>He warned that a breach of ₹390 could open downside towards ₹360, which may also act as a long-term accumulation zone.Fundamentals And Policy RisksCarpenter said that the company continues to be debt-free with a return on equity of about 28-29% and a return on capital employed of around 36-37%, as well as a stable dividend yield of 3.5%.&nbsp;He also noted that the company's diversified portfolio in FMCG, agribusiness, paperboards, and hotels provides stability, aside from the cigarette business.Pal added that the FMCG segment continues to expand, while ITC’s balance sheet remains cash-rich and supportive of future growth.&nbsp;However, both flagged risks from regulation, with GST 2.0 proposals to impose a uniform 40% sin tax on tobacco, alcohol and gaming stoking investor concerns.What Should Investors Do?Carpenter estimated ITC’s fair value near ₹373, suggesting the stock is modestly overvalued at current levels. He said attractive long-term entry points lie closer to ₹360–₹365, where technical and valuation factors converge.&nbsp;Pal added that while ITC may face pressure in the short term and test the ₹390–₹400 support range, its strong fundamentals and defensive character make it a buy-on-dips candidate for long-term investors.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bearish’ amid ‘normal’ message volume.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ITC.NSE">ITC’s stock</a> has declined 15.8% so far in 2025.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

What’s Next For ITC Shares? SEBI Analysts Call Buy-On-Dips Near ₹360–₹365 Amid Sin Tax Fears

Products likely to fall under this highest slab include pan masala, tobacco, cigarettes, luxury cars, and online gaming.For cigarettes, already among the most heavily taxed items, the effective burden could rise to 48% - 55% of retail prices.

GST 2.0 Buzz: Godfrey Phillips, Nazara Shares Slide On Reports Of 40% ‘Sin Tax’

Pan masala, tobacco, cigarettes, luxury cars, and online gaming could face a 40% tax, as per reports

Shares of ITC were subdued on Monday even as the company posted steady first quarter (Q1) results, with revenue growth of 19% year-on-year (YoY) and modest profit growth, driven by a strong performance in its agri and cigarettes businesses and stable margins in FMCG despite cost pressures.SEBI-registered analysts&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/Japfinserve">Varunkumar Patel</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/Financialindependence">Financial Independence</a> both flagged positive business momentum and operating resilience across segments.&nbsp;Brokerages including Goldman Sachs, Macquarie, and Jefferies also maintained bullish ratings, expecting margins to improve in the second half of the fiscal year.Q1 Earnings ReviewITC reported standalone gross revenue of ₹20,911 crore for the June 2025 quarter, up 20% from a year ago. Net profit stood at ₹4,912 crore, rising 1.9% YoY, while EBITDA came in at ₹6,261 crore, a 2.9% increase.The cigarettes segment generated ₹8,520 crore in revenue, up 7.6% YoY, with segment profit increasing 3.7% to ₹5,145 crore.

Patel noted that segments such as staples, biscuits, dairy, homecare, and premium personal care were key drivers.&nbsp;Sequential margin improvement of 50 basis points came on the back of price optimisation and portfolio premiumisation. Patel highlighted that digital-first brands like Yogabar and Meatigo are scaling fast, with an annualised run rate nearing ₹1,000 crore.The agri business delivered ₹9,685 crore in revenue, rising 39% YoY, with segment profit up 22% to ₹434 crore.
