A like-for-like valuation of Hindustan Unilever (HINDUNILVR) and TITAN COMPANY (TITAN), each built from its own filed accounts and set side by side — price against estimated worth, on the same measures.
TITAN COMPANY is priced further below its estimated worth than Hindustan Unilever.
TITAN COMPANY trades 8% above our estimate of fair value, against 19% above our estimate of fair value for Hindustan Unilever. A wider discount is not automatically the safer buy — it can equally mean the market sees a risk the accounts do not show yet — but on price against estimated value, TITAN COMPANY is the cheaper of the two today.
Every figure below is drawn from each company's own filed statements. Estimated fair value is the per-share figure our engine will stand behind; where a business needs a model that does not reduce to one number, it is shown as “—”.

Staples bought every week against jewellery bought once a decade — the same household, opposite ends of the wallet.
Worked backwards from today's share price: the rate each company must sustain to justify what it costs, against what its own ten-year record supports.
Same method, same filed accounts — each of these works both companies through to a fair value.

Each company is valued from its own filed financial statements — ten years of results — using the method that fits that business, then set beside the other on price, valuation multiples, return on equity and what today's share price already assumes. It is a like-for-like comparison of the workings, not investment advice.
