What the Analysts think about Unilever

Analyst projections of the future price of Unilever stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Unilever’s volume recovery is becoming more convincing: second-quarter underlying sales rose 5.8%, including 5.5% volume growth, and management raised its 2026 outlook to 4%–6% growth. This gives the turnaround stronger evidence than price increases alone. (Reuters)
Growth is broadening beyond one brand or region: all business groups recorded volume-led growth in the first half, while India delivered 8% underlying sales growth and Power Brands grew 6%. That spread could help Unilever convert its emerging-market reach and leading brands into sustained growth. (SEC)
The planned Foods separation could leave Unilever with a more focused home and personal care business, while combining Foods with McCormick is expected to generate about $600 million of annual cost synergies. Successful execution could sharpen investment behind faster-growing categories. (Unilever)
Reported results are weaker than underlying growth suggests: first-half turnover rose just 0.5% as currency reduced it by 4.9%, and diluted earnings per share fell 2.5%. Persistent currency pressure could continue to obscure operational progress for dollar-based investors. (SEC)
Cost inflation is already pressuring profitability: first-half gross margin fell 70 basis points to 46.8%, with commodity costs partly offsetting productivity gains. Management expects second-half growth to be led by pricing, leaving a risk that price increases fail to fully protect margins or volumes. (SEC)
Foods is a weak spot ahead of a complicated separation: first-half sales growth was only 1.2%, developed-market foods declined, and Unilever cited lost share in US condiments. The separation also carries expected stranded costs of €400–500 million and around €500 million of one-off restructuring costs. (SEC, Unilever)
