💡 Investor Takeaway
HUL is accelerating premiumization through strategic acquisitions like Minimalist to drive higher-margin growth amid moderating volume trends.

Hindustan Unilever reported 2% underlying sales growth for Q3 FY25 driven by pricing amid flat volume growth, with gross margins stable at 50% and EBITDA margin in the 23-24% range. PAT rose 19% YoY to INR3,001 crores. Premiumization trends offset negative mix from lower-margin Home Care and small packs, while commodity inflation (crude palm oil, tea) remains monitored. The company completed the Pureit divestment and acquired Minimalist for INR2,955 crores to accelerate premium beauty expansion, targeting 900 bps portfolio shift. Rural demand recovery is anticipated as macro conditions improve, with no structural consumption stress observed.
