Bulls Say

  • Unicharm’s strength in personal hygiene products and distribution in Japan will allow the company to achieve long-term profit growth from product mix maneuvers and price hikes.

  • The low penetration of personal hygiene products in some emerging countries across Asia presents huge opportunities for Unicharm, given its leadership position in the industry.

  • Unicharm could leverage its expertise in sanitary products for humans to grow its pet care business, the latter which is still a fast-growing segment in many countries.

Bears Say

  • Concentration in personal hygiene products could limit long-term growth potential for Unicharm if the pet care segment does not ramp up satisfactorily.

  • The company could face fierce competition in Southeast Asia if other international players become more aggressive in sales and marketing.

  • Unicharm’s long-term profit growth outlook in Japan could be damped by the inability to raise prices and improve product mix, given slowing volume growth.
