Analysis
Hindustan Unilever Limited (HINDUNILVR) currently trades at ₹2,083, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹1,000, implying the stock looks roughly 52.0% overvalued today. We read business quality at 69/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Hindustan Unilever Limited generated revenue of ₹645B at a net margin of 23.3%. Revenue grew 4.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 21.6%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹17.7B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹591.01 (bear case) to ₹1,436 (bull case); at ₹2,083, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 23% below its 52-week high and 3% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -26% fair-value upside, at -52%, HINDUNILVR screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
