- A high-quality business (quality 79/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (₹1,049). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- A fairly wide model range (₹503.69 to ₹1,049) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Hindustan Unilever Limited (HINDUNILVR) currently trades at ₹1,973, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹789.46, implying the stock looks roughly 149.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 79/100 (high quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of ₹1,236 per share, and 0 of the 26 models we run sit above the ₹1,973 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at ₹138.98, and 26 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is 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 Aug 23, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹503.69 (bear case) to ₹1,049 (bull case); at ₹1,973, 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 27% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at −28% fair-value upside, at −60%, 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, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (₹1,236) versus Asset-Based (₹138.98). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (78).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 75 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 40
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
