Why Do Some Shares Command High Valuations ?

There are few shares in Indian Stock market whose always command premium valuation irrespective of the market conditions.  e.g. Colgate, Dabur, Hindustan Unilever, Bosch, Abbott India, Nestle, Asian Paints etc.  There are various reasons behind such high valuation.

1. Long Term Earning Visibility: Companies with long term earning visibility always command premium valuations. FMCG companies are the most suitable example of this.

2.  Return on Equity : Companies with high Return on Equity always command premium valuations. Nestle,colgate are the companies whose ROE is more that 100%

3.Corporate Governance : Companies with high corporate governance always enjoy a premium in valuation over their peers.

4. Multinational Companies : Multinational companies with strong parent and having strong presence in India enjoy premium valuation. This premium is because of their technological edge , good corporate governance, high dividend payout ratio, High ROE and hope for  open offer and delisting. Bayer Crop Science, Abbott India, HUL, Bosch, GSK are prominent examples.
