What the Analysts think about Unilever

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Unilever stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Unilever topped market expectations with 3.8% underlying sales growth in Q2 2025, surpassing the 3.6% consensus, thanks to strategic price increases, and confirmed its full-year outlook along with plans to spin off its ice cream arm (Reuters).
The ice cream business reported a 5.9% sales increase in H1 2025, supported by new products, favorable weather, and better supply chain performance, paving the way for the €15 billion spin-off of The Magnum Ice Cream Company in November 2025 (Financial Times).
Acquisitions of niche personal care brands, including Dr Squatch and Wild, have helped accelerate growth in Unilever's beauty and wellbeing division and supported its reiterated 3–5% full-year organic sales growth guidance (Financial Times).
Hindustan Unilever’s Indian business narrowly missed quarterly profit forecasts, with its EBITDA margin shrinking by 30 basis points to 23.1% due to higher expenses and softer urban demand, putting pressure on the group’s overall profitability (Reuters).
Unilever’s main food brands are losing market share to smaller challenger brands—such as Hellmann’s mayonnaise facing competition from Duke’s and Mike’s Amazing—which is leading to stagnant or declining sales volumes and reflects ongoing problems in its packaged foods division (Wall Street Journal).
The company launched a review of its top 200 executive positions and aims to cut 7,500 jobs as part of a turnaround plan, highlighting deep-rooted underperformance and operational risks in its global business (Reuters).
