Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) Stocks in India (May 2024)
Last posted moneycontrol Stock of the Day stocks (from April) plus Indian QSR stocks, Indian fine dining restaurant stocks and restaurant proxy player stocks (e.g. QSR suppliers, etc).
moneycontrol is India's leading financial and business portal who does short (roughly 4 minute) Stock of the Day video pitches about Indian stock picks. However, it appears they have stopped doing or posting these videos on YouTube in early April.
Note that Interactive Brokers gives access to the Indian market, but it looks like the access is restricted to "Non-Resident Indians" or "NRIs" and "Financial Institution Intermediaries" or "FIIs" only:
It may not make sense to continue doing a monthly post covering Indian stocks; but in addition to the moneycontrol Stock of the Day posts over the past year under the India tag (covering a number of Indian stocks), I have the following write-ups (from last year) about some key Indian QSR stocks (that this post will provide some updates for):
Indian QSR stocks tend to franchise Western QSR brands that everyone is familiar with and all of them would be facing the same headwinds - namely competition (including from food apps making it easier to find different types of food to have delivered…) and inflation causing food commodities to rise and consumer wallets to shrink…
Note that India does have a large Muslim population, but I am not sure if there are any boycotts of western QSR brands (like in Malaysia or Indonesia) over what is happening in Gaza.
To make your life easier, this post includes:
A quick description of the stock pick with links to the IR page and stock quote(s) on Yahoo! Finance.
A link to any Wikipedia page (for what it might be worth…)
For the last moneycontrol Stock of the Days, the title and their summary of what makes the stock pick interesting plus the embedded video (they are usually 4 minutes long).
For the QSR stocks (when available), a most recent (short) news segment video (usually covering the latest earnings) from the past month or so or a short profile video (if available) is embedded in the post. Note that AlphaStreet India’s YouTube channel has recordings of many Indian stock earnings calls.
A price/book (most recent quarter) ratio plus forward or trailing P/E and dividend yields linked back to the Yahoo! Finance statistics page.
