Stock DNA
How this stock actually behaved
Four measurements taken from the same 20 years of price history shown above — how fast it grew, how often it rose, how far it fell, and how it fared against the index. Each one is stated with the number behind it so you can check the working.
Overall
The plain average of the 4 measurements below. It describes what already happened. It is not a rating, a recommendation, or a forecast.
13.5% a year
Compounded at 13.5% annually over 20 years. The scale reaches 10 at 25% a year.
16 of 20 years up
Finished higher than the previous year in 16 of 20 years. The score is that ratio, nothing else.
−20.7% worst fall
Fell 20.7% from a previous year-end peak at its worst. Measured on year-end values, so deeper falls within a year are not captured.
+4.2pp a year
Beat the NIFTY 50 by 4.2 percentage points a year over 20 years. A score of 5 means it matched the index.

Investor Questions
Things Investors Usually Ask About HINDUNILVR
Quick answers to the most important questions investors consider before researching a stock.
Hindustan Unilever Ltd. compounded at approximately 13.5% a year over the last 20 years. CAGR is the steady annual rate that would produce the same result, so it can be compared directly against other stocks and against the index.
₹10,000 invested in Hindustan Unilever Ltd. would have grown to approximately ₹1,25,404 over the analysed period, based on historical adjusted closing prices. That is a total return — dividends and stock splits are included — before brokerage and taxes.
We hold 20 years of usable daily price history for Hindustan Unilever Ltd., and every figure on this page is measured within that window. Usable history can be shorter than the time a company has been listed: where our price source has a break we cannot verify — an unadjusted split, or a stretch of repeated closes — we cut the series back to after that break rather than publish a long-run number we do not trust.
The two are measured on different price series, on purpose. Returns and wealth figures use closing prices adjusted for dividends and splits, so dividends count as reinvested. The prices displayed are the raw quoted closes, so you can check them against your broker or the exchange. For a dividend payer the end price divided by the start price will therefore not reproduce the return figure — that gap is the dividends.
Past performance does not predict future returns. Valuation, revenue and earnings growth, balance-sheet quality, sector outlook and competitive position all matter, and none of them are visible in a return figure. ReturnScreener publishes the historical record only — it does not evaluate any of those things.
How This Is Calculated
Reading these figures properly
Total return, before costs
Returns and wealth figures use closing prices adjusted for dividends and splits, so dividends are treated as reinvested. Demergers are not credited, and brokerage and taxes are not modelled. The prices shown alongside are the raw quoted closes, so they can be checked against your broker.
The start date decides the answer
Every CAGR here is measured between two dates. A different starting year can move it substantially, which is why this page reports several horizons rather than one headline number.
Survivors only
Hindustan Unilever Ltd.is in today's Nifty 500 universe. Companies that delisted or collapsed are not on this site at all — a bias worth holding in mind when reading any long-run historical figure.
