Varun Beverages Limited

“Varun Beverages is one of India's highest-quality franchise businesses — a structurally entrenched PepsiCo bottler with irreproducible distribution infrastructure, decades of reinvestment runway, and management that has compounded capital intelligently across 30 years. However, at 54x trailing and 42x forward earnings, the market has priced in a flawless decade of execution with no margin of safety remaining. Probability-weighted returns from the current price are approximately 3–4% CAGR, well below what long-term equity investors should demand. The business deserves to be owned; the stock deserves to be tracked until a 30–40% discount to current levels emerges.”
