AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Marico Ltd is an FMCG company with a market cap of approximately ₹1,11,855 crore, trading at a PE of 58.5x and a price-to-book of 27.1x. The company delivers a consistently high ROE of 43% (last year) with TTM sales growth accelerating to 25%, though its 5-year sales CAGR remains modest at 11%.
- Exceptional return on equity with last year ROE at 43% and a 10-year average of 38%, indicating highly efficient capital allocation
- TTM sales growth has accelerated sharply to 25%, well above the 5-year CAGR of 11%, suggesting improving demand momentum
- Healthy dividend payout ratio of 65.1%, reflecting strong cash generation and shareholder-friendly capital return policy
- Consistent long-term profitability with compounded profit growth of 10% over 10 years and 11% over 3 years
- Stock CAGR of 19% over the last 1 year shows recent re-rating by the market on improving fundamentals
- 3-year ROE of 41% demonstrates durability of high returns, not a one-off spike
- 10-year stock CAGR of 11% indicates long-term wealth compounding for patient investors
- Stock trades at 58.5x PE, significantly above the broader market and FMCG sector averages, leaving limited margin of safety
- Price-to-book ratio of 26.3-27.1x is extremely elevated, pricing in substantial future growth that may already be discounted
- 5-year compounded sales growth of only 11% is modest for a stock commanding a 58.5x PE multiple
- 5-year compounded profit growth of 9% lags behind sales growth and is inconsistent with the premium valuation
- Dividend yield of just 0.46% provides negligible income cushion despite the high payout ratio of 65.1%
- TTM profit growth of 13% trails TTM sales growth of 25%, suggesting potential margin compression or higher input costs
- 10-year compounded sales growth of 9% indicates the company operates in a relatively slow-growth category over extended periods
- Stock CAGR of 10% over 5 years and 14% over 3 years is moderate relative to the valuation premium carried
