Priced for more growth than it has delivered

Caution
At today's price of ₹1,865, the market is pricing in revenue growth of about 18.8% a year for FY27E–FY31E, holding the rest of your base case. Hindustan Unilever Limited's revenue grew 2.3% a year between FY23 and FY26, so the price asks for more than it has delivered.
Caution
Your base case assumes 8.2% revenue growth a year on average, less than the price implies, and values the shares at ₹1,212, 35% below today's price.
Caution
If your base case comes true, the whole business would return about 8.0% a year at today's price, 1.6 percentage points less than the 9.6% a year the model requires (the WACC).
Caution
About 75% of today's price pays for future growth. The other 25%, ₹462.78 a share, is what FY26 operating profit after tax is worth if it never grows.
Caution
Across 2,000 simulated futures around your base case, the middle 80% of values runs from ₹909.07 to ₹1,752 a share, and 7% of them are worth more than today's price.
Favourable
Business health grade A (84 out of 100): passes most quality and accounting screens, with 5 strengths and no red flags.

Educational, not investment advice. “Favourable” means the numbers lean in today's price's favour; “Caution” means the price asks a lot of the future.

Piotroski's tests, one by one (6 passed of 9)

PASS
Made a profit Return on assets 18.8% in FY26
A company that loses money on its assets is using up its owners' capital.
PASS
Operations brought in cash Operating cash flow ₹10,999 crore in FY26
Profit has to arrive as cash in the end, and cash flow is harder to dress up than profit.
PASS
Return on assets improved 18.8% vs FY25's 13.6%
Rising profitability is one of the clearest signs a business is getting stronger.
FAIL
Cash from operations beat profit Cash ₹10,999 crore vs profit ₹15,040 crore
When cash lags profit, earnings may rest on generous accounting or customers who pay late.
PASS
Long-term debt fell relative to assets Long-term debt 1.4% of average assets vs FY25's 1.6%
More debt leaves less room for error when business slows.
FAIL
Short-term liquidity improved Current ratio 1.22 vs FY25's 1.33
More short-term assets per rupee of bills due within a year means less risk of a cash squeeze.
PASS
No new shares issued Diluted shares 0.0% vs FY25
Issuing shares shrinks each owner's slice and can mean the company could not fund itself.
FAIL
Gross margin improved Gross margin 48.5% vs FY25's 48.9%
A higher gross margin points to pricing power or falling costs.
PASS
Assets worked harder (turnover up) Revenue ÷ assets 0.80x vs FY25's 0.77x
More sales from the same assets means the business uses its capital better.

FY26 against FY25. Above −1.78 the pattern resembles companies later found to have manipulated earnings; some analysts use a stricter −2.22.

How to read this

Piotroski F-score (Joseph Piotroski, 2000): nine pass-or-fail tests of profitability, debt, liquidity and efficiency, each comparing the latest year with the one before. 7 or more is strong; 3 or fewer is weak.

Altman Z'' (Edward Altman, 1995, the version for non-manufacturers and emerging markets): combines working capital, retained earnings, operating profit and book equity relative to the balance sheet. Above 2.60 is the safe zone, below 1.10 the distress zone.

Beneish M-score (Messod Beneish, 1999): eight ratios that, in his study, separated companies later found to have manipulated earnings. Above −1.78 resembles that pattern. It is a prompt to read the notes to the accounts, not an accusation.

Grade: a 0 to 100 blend (Piotroski 40%, Altman 20%, Beneish 15%, the ratios 25%, re-weighted when a part is missing): A from 80, B from 65, C from 50, D from 35, E below.

All three screens were built on US companies and annual accounts from Yahoo Finance, which can be incomplete. Lenders, insurers and holding companies get financial-firm ratios instead of the Altman and Beneish screens.

What analysts expect

Price targets and ratings from the brokers' analysts who cover the stock, as Yahoo collects them. Their opinion, not this app's; set against the model so you can see where you differ.

38 analysts' average 12-month target is ₹2,256, +21.0% against today's ₹1,865 (median ₹2,223). The range runs from ₹1,800 to ₹2,750.

Ratings this month: 27 buy, 9 hold, 3 sell; the average works out to "Buy" (1.9 on a 1 to 5 scale, 1 = strong buy).

Your value estimate of ₹1,480 is 34% below the analysts' average: a big gap is worth explaining, it usually comes down to growth or margin assumptions.

Targets are usually for 12 months ahead and tend to run optimistic; brokers that cover a company often do business with it. Counts and targets come from different updates, so they may not match exactly.

Risk and likely range

How much the shares have swung and how far they have fallen over five years. Risk repeats far more reliably than direction, so this is the honest kind of forecast: how far the price may move, not which way.

What the price implies

A reverse DCF: the constant revenue growth, or the constant EBIT margin, that makes the DCF equal today's price, holding everything else in your base case.

Implied revenue growth, a year18.8%Your base case averages 8.2%. The market expects more growth than you do.

Implied EBIT margin33.1%Your base case averages 21.5%; the last reported year was 21.5%.

What you'd earn at today's price

The yearly return on the whole business at today's price if your base case comes true, against the return the model requires and what a government bond pays.

Caution

If your base case comes true, today's price earns about 8.0% a year, 1.6 percentage points less than the 9.6% the model requires.

Cost of equity9.6%what shareholders require

Context

Every ₹100 of share price buys ₹2.42 of today's profit a year, less than the ₹7.44 of interest the bond pays: the price counts on profits growing.

How these are worked out

Expected return (an internal rate of return). Imagine buying the whole company at today's price: its shares and its debt, less its cash. The expected return is the yearly rate that makes the free cash flows in your base case, plus the value after FY31E growing at 5.0%, add up to exactly today's price. When it is above the WACC, the price sits below your DCF value. It only comes true if the forecast does.

Earnings power value. What the business is worth if its last reported operating profit never grows or shrinks (a simplified version of Bruce Greenwald's method). It treats depreciation as the spending needed to stand still, and uses reported rather than average profit, so one unusual year moves it.

FY26 operating profit (EBIT), ₹ crore: 13,721
After tax at 24.8%: 10,318
Held flat for ever: ÷ WACC of 9.6%: 1,07,241
+ Cash − debt, leases, minorities and dividends since the balance sheet: 1,493
÷ Shares, per share: ₹462.78

Earnings yield is the profit a year you buy with each unit of price (the P/E turned upside down). Free cash flow yield is the same idea with next year's forecast cash flow.
