Ranked by price change between the first and last close of the past week — no estimates, and dividends excluded. Short-window rankings show momentum, not long-term compounding, so CAGR is only shown on horizons of a year or more. Full definitions and the limitations we know about are on our Methodology page.
Zydus Wellness Ltd. led with a +7.3% price move over the week, ahead of Allied Blenders and Distillers Ltd. at +2.5%. This ranks percentage price change only — it is not a recommendation to buy.
The average move across the ranked set was -1.2% and the median -1.4%. The average sitting above the median means a handful of standouts pulled it up, so the typical stock did less well than the headline suggests.
4 of 20 fmcg stocks closed higher over the week, while 16 fell. A ranking only shows the top of that distribution, so it always looks stronger than the group as a whole.
Returns ran from +7.3% at the top down to -5.8% across the 20 fmcg stocks ranked on this page. That spread — not the average — is what an investor holding a single stock actually experiences.
Not on its own. A short-window ranking measures momentum — how far a price moved recently — not the multi-year compounding that builds wealth. Open any stock's Investment Journey to see how it performed over one to twenty years before drawing a conclusion.
No. ReturnScreener publishes historical performance data for research and informational purposes only. Past returns don't guarantee future ones — always do your own due diligence or speak with a SEBI-registered advisor before investing.

ReturnScreener is an educational research platform and is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser. These rankings are a record of price movement over a fixed past window — they are not a screen for quality, not a projection, and not a recommendation to buy anything on them. Short-window movement is the weakest of all the signals published on this site: it says nothing about a company's earnings, valuation or durability. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. See our methodology and disclaimer.
