United Breweries Limited cash-flow valuation

It routes each business to the methods that suit it, and a DCF is a poor lens where cash-flow forecasts are fragile or the business is capital-structure driven. The methods it did use, and why, are set out below. Our published estimate is ₹1,122.

Why this method for this business
Relative P/E and PEG are appropriate for an asset-light, branded consumer business with durable moat and predictable earnings power.
The models behind the number

- peg: Limited relevance for a mature brand with stable growth
What was missing
- Lack of forward EPS estimates for more than one year
- Limited analyst coverage and dispersion data

peer-anchor mismatch — deep own-history used instead
quality 53/100 (about average) → neutral
durable ~23% CAGR (ROCE 14% > hurdle) → premium
capital allocation: falling ROCE / weak cash generation → discount
financial strength: low leverage (D/E 0.3) → mild premium
history: market paid +48% vs sector, dampened ×0.3 (one feature, not the anchor)
sector re-rating: no sector-norm history → not used
rates: risk-free 6.9% below ~7.1% normal → higher multiple
risk: no analyst-dispersion signal available → neutral (lowers confidence, not PE)

Who computed this
A language model (qwen3:8b) selects the valuation method and the judgement inputs for United Breweries Limited: which models suit the business, the moat, the growth and margin assumptions. It does not produce the number. The fair value itself is computed in Python by a deterministic engine (version 2026.08.1) from those inputs, so the same inputs always give the same result and every figure above can be traced to a source.
Estimated 14 Sept 2026. Re-run as new financials and news arrive.
How we value stocks
We estimate what a business is worth from its own economics: cash flows, returns on capital, and a multiple justified by its quality, rather than from where the share price has been. A fair value estimate is a view, not a verdict, and it is only as good as the inputs listed above.
