Analysis
Hope premium
Hindustan Unilever Limited is priced well ahead of what the underlying numbers justify, a pattern we describe as a hope premium.
On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 31.5×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 12% a year, against analyst forecasts of 7%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.
Growth is moderate; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.
Flags to be aware of: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
