Tata Consumer Products Limited (TATACONSUM)

Recently Charlie Munger interviewed by Andy Serwer in influencers on asking about UBER (link shared by @bheeshma ) .

in that interview he mentioned Well, I have to be interested when they’re ( companies )that important and sweep the world and change practice. But I don’t have to invest in everything I’m interested in. I’m looking for things where I think I can predict what’s going to happen with a high degree of accuracy. And I have no feeling that I have the ability to do that with Uber.

So in context of TATA Global beverages it can change/ break the habit and can be global CUP for sipping other than COLD DRINK .The company is already ticking the right boxes at appropriate times Coupled with age OLD generation of testers THEY know the INDIA better than any TOM DICK HARRY .The Recent trends of healthy Cold Tea can add some Laurels .But When i don’t know …

This strategy would be good if only Tata Salt was there… Now sure if Tata Sampann has broken even yet! The quality is good from Consumers Standpoint though.

No change in business untill synergies with tata chemical products will require atleast 2 years, prior to this they had bought tea company. Earlier was holding stock due to star bucks story.I think management is trying cook to many things at the same time. Today’s jump in price was only based on news event.

Sold all my shares at 280 levels, no holding as of now.

Good to see that TCL innovation engine will remain with TCL only and not pass on to TGBL. I am really impressed by TCL new product launches rather than of TGBL so far. TGBL management is always boasting about global presence of company and yet again in this article when all they have done in decades is not anything meaningfully productive in terms of growth globally and lost the Indian race also in FMCG, they again talk about global presence :slight_smile:

Really happy to see TCL innovation team will make products and TGBL will market. I wish they focus on India as real growth is back home. I wish that Global affinity goes away with their old name and they focus on huge consumer opportunity in India. Need to catch up on decades of lost growth!!

Disc: TGBL Part of core portfolio since many years.

Since you’ve been following this company for long, can you tell how much margin TCL is making on the Salts & the Sampann brands?

My hunch is that there are not much margins to be made on Tata Sampann staples [this is not valid for masalas or mixes], as they can’t price those too high as the competitions from unorganized or private labels are high. However, the OPM of TCL is on the gradual rise since the last few years, a part of which could be due to better mix of Tata Salt & Sampann products in their overall turnover. So, I’m asking. Never studied TCL.

Hi Sujay

I am holding and tracking TGBL and not TCL that closely. But Yes, I was always attracted to TCL because of innovative consumer products they used to come up with. Agreed the margins for staples will not be that much (pulses), although I think Salt enjoys decent margins and so would the Organic part of the Sampann portfolio like Organic Pulses and Spices.

We must note here that if Tatas walk the talk then these will be all insignificant categories in what they may come up in future…if they are serious about FMCG in India.

Thanks

Star, Westside, Zudio and Landmark retail stores come under Trent Ltd. Star Bazaar always stock Tata Consumer’s products. Infact, some of the “Fabsta” private labels are manufactured by Tata Consumer products. Tatas are slowly and surely creating a strong coexistence yet to be seen anywhere in the world.
