Today’s top research idea

  • ​Hindustan Unilever: Beat on all fronts; Positive outlook on monsoon; Upgrade to Buy
  • HUVR’s 4QFY17 sales increased 6.4% YoY (est. +4.5%) to INR82.1b. Domestic business grew 8% with volumes growing 4%. EBITDA increased 12.2% YoY to INR16.5b (est. 14.6b) and Adj. PAT increased 6.2% YoY to INR11.2b, (1.4% above estimates).
  • Upgrade to Buy: Strong recovery in volumes was a pleasant surprise. With likely normal monsoon, HUL has all levers for earnings revival especially when allied with benefits of low base of preceding years, return of price led sales growth, lower promotion spends, continuing premiumization as well as government schemes (DBT implementation, 24% increase in rural outlay in the budget, farm loan waiver in Uttar Pradesh etc). We target 45x FY19 EPS, (5% premium to 3 year average) resulting in target price of INR 1,165.
