HUL shares hit 52-week low as it observes Capital Markets Day
Revenue growth over the past two years has been muted
United Breweries Limited (UBL) shares slipped on Friday following its Capital Markets Day, where the company outlined plans to double EBITDA margins over three to five years. The stock opened at ₹1,299 and reached an intraday high of ₹1,326 before falling to trade near its 52-week low of ₹1,276. Analysts remain divided on UBL's margin timeline, with some viewing the event as a strategic inflection while others caution that the company's margin delivery has lagged expectations.
UBL's India beer market is seen as structurally under-penetrated, with per capita consumption at just 2.5 litres, compared to a global average of 25 litres. The company is investing ₹110 crore to commission a new canning line in Maharashtra, its first at that facility. Analyst reactions have been mixed, with some rating UBL a Buy and others maintaining a Hold or Reduce rating.
