Tobacco, booze stocks beat blue chips


By: Aman Dhall, ET Bureau

In the past year, so-called sin stocks — shares of companies making booze and tobacco — have outperformed the blue chips forming part of the 30-share Sensex index of the Bombay Stock Exchange by almost 25%, an analysis by SundayET shows.

Since the ‘sin business’ is non-cyclical and stocks of companies engaged in these businesses considered defensive plays, analysts said this could be one of the key reasons for their shares doing well in a gloomy market environment. Another theory is that in uncertain times, people drink more, smoke more, and even gamble more, which could have had a rub-off effect on the stocks of these companies.

The stock of Patiala-based Piccadily Sugar & Allied Industries rose by 92%, Mumbai-based Tilaknagar Industries (52%), Hyderabad-based VST Industries (39%), Tobacco major ITC (22%) and India’s second-largest spirits maker Radico Khaitan (18%) in the last one year.
