All TV chennals are saying results are bad but I have a different view. Profits have grawn by 16% before exeptional items. These expeptional its are basically profits from sale of properties last year and payment to factory workers for settlement this year. These exeptional items are non-recurring. I do not know what markets thinks and how share behaves in short term but for the management I have suggesstion that do not spend Rs 25 cr. on advt spend for Ashwarya and Abhishek because people wants cheeper products and not Ashwarya or abhishek bachhan.
I agree with you. Net profit is down only due to one time settlement of Rs 166 crs and earlier years income from sale of property.
Operating profit margin is up from 12.9% to 14.3%.
Domestic consumer sales grew 8% and FMCG grew 7% year on year. The company is facing sluggish growth on 25% of its FMCG products as consumers down trade and local competitive products.
The company will surely work on this and we will see better results in due course.
I know most people are of heard mantelity. Even if you read some of the view of boarders they written that sell on opening and condition of HUL will be the same as of Bharti and RCom. I would like to point out Bharti or RCom are relatively newer companies comparing Bharti with HUL is totally irrelevent. HUL is here for many many decades and I hope it will be here for many more decades. When markets melt down in January 2008 HUL was the only stock which risen since Jan 2008. It is an old elephant of Jungle whose walking speed has slowed down
ok ok!!! anyhow wat im trying to say is after many times HUL try;d to break 250!! atleast for now it must break!!! this import level 250 n go n stand to 230 levels bcoz huge support is there in 222 so may come near this 52 week low .. may not break 222, 52 week low is 189.{RESULT 229CR VS 292 CR } IS THIS RESULT 29%%% DECLINE!!!who going to buy this kid of company stock?????? look at ITC OR DABUR OR GODREJ, go behind this stockz they will make u good money not this kid of wasting money for ads . SPENDING MONEY BY PAYING PREMIUM MONEY FOR AD`S STOPING ALL PROGRAMS ON T.V `S ..AHAHAHA... BUSINESS PPL...GREAT HEAD!!!! HUL HUL HUL. I LOVE HUL BCOZ IT DOSNT MOVE ANY WHERE I LOVE TO SEE HUL IN 230 LEVELS SO THAT ONE CAN BUY THIS STOCKZ AT 230 TO 240 LEVELS NOT AT 290. AHAHA..
i agree with your analysis that the consumer goods ,especially beverages are facing sluggish growth and consumers are moving towards localbrands- especially when you take example of it`s tea brands. One time strongman Red Label is now beatendown in most markets. And you can understand it with ample clarity when you see in (y)our next door shops at nagpur, pune, aurangabad, hyderabad are stcking up local teas and reducing red label. the investor fear is that, we dont see any trend reversal in near future...local will only grow bigger in the punes, nagpurs and aurangabads..
