Morningstar | DuluxGroup's strong paint brands operate in an attractive oligopoly market structure.

DuluxGroup is a consumer-oriented and brand-focused business, commanding healthy margins that more than adequately cover the modest capital expenditure requirements. We believe this makes the company an attractive investment that generates high free cash flow. While revenue from renovations is relatively stable, some parts of DuluxGroup are subject to cyclical shifts in consumer confidence and household expenditure. The acquisition of Alesco increased leverage to new housing activity. Input costs can be volatile, but DuluxGroup can generally pass those costs through, particularly in paints.
