It makes snacks, biscuits, candies and beverages under household names such as Jack 'n Jill, C2 ready-to-drink tea and Great Taste coffee, and also runs an agro-industrial and commodities business.

What moves the stock

The market watches gross-margin recovery when input costs ease, the performance of the overseas business, and the agro-industrial unit, which can be more cyclical. Distribution reach and competition in snacks and beverages also shape the outlook.
