14. Our Opinion about Company
We know that every two out of three Indians use HUL products.
Many brands which I too prefer to use and keep my loyalty towards
it are Dove , Vaseline , Pears ,Lakme , Close Up and many more.
After seeing its growth trend & ICICI Direct recommendation to
hold HUL shares as it continued to stress through focusing on a) cluster
specific content, communication & schemes and b) effective coverage and
assortment of products in stores. Additionally, it is investing in building
channels of future, i.e. modern trade and e-commerce, where it enjoys
higher share than general trade., it can be easily said that it is
rising day by day and will penetrate more customers market.
