What matters now
- A high-quality business (quality 71/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
- A fairly wide model range (€27.65 to €65.19) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Unilever PLC (UNA) currently trades at €55.48, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €40.47, implying the stock looks roughly 37.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 71/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of €44.18 per share, and 3 of the 24 models we run sit above the €55.48 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at €4.84, and 21 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Unilever PLC generated revenue of €50.5B at a net margin of 18.8%. Revenue declined 3.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 31.0%. Net debt stands at €25.7B. Fundamentals as of Aug 31, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €27.65 (bear case) to €65.19 (bull case); at €55.48, the current price sits within 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 11% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at −36% fair-value upside, at −27%, UNA screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly €0.4165 per share, which is 1.0 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (€44.18) versus Asset-Based (€4.84). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (79).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 66 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 60
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.
