Silent and long-term winners of GST rationalisation: 17 stocks from different sectors which fit the bill
In the last few days, a simple trade has been taking place on the street. The government cuts the GST rate on a product, price falls, and households should buy more of it. So, stocks from FMCG and some other sectors have done well. But India’s experience over the last two decades tells a subtler story: Because a family saves on tax in one corner of its consumption basket, it doesn’t mean it will spend more in that same corner. Just to put this in perspective: If one is saving money on buying a soap, that saving will not go into buying additional soap. It might go into buying anything else. What is that something else? It may even be a product that has not seen any GST cut. The fact is that there are many stocks that are silent and long-term winners of the GST rate rationalisation.

GST rationalization: You don't become irrational; 10 stocks, from two sectors, some may get more, some less, some nothing
Stocks of some consumer-facing sectors have rallied in the past three days. The reason: A coming cut in GST rates will spur demand. On the face of it, there is nothing wrong with this assumption. The laws of economics say that lower taxes mean lower prices and lower prices mean higher demand. However, take the case of air-conditioners. If prices are cut next month, it does not mean an immediate demand spurt. Yes, it may have an impact by next summer. But if the summer is late and mild like this year, demand will be impacted. So, the impact of any GST rate cut comes with many ifs and buts. Similarly, there are sectors where the response needs to be rational rather than emotional. More than anything else, demand elasticity is the big factor when looking at GST.
