Unilever has regained volume momentum: first-half underlying sales grew 4.8%, including 4.2% volume growth, while second-quarter volume growth reached 5.5%, the strongest in over a decade. Power Brands and markets such as India, Indonesia and Latin America led the improvement, prompting management to raise its 2026 outlook to 4%–6% sales growth. (Reuters, Unilever)
The planned Foods combination with McCormick should leave Unilever as a more focused home and personal care business, while providing $15.7 billion of cash for debt reduction and planned shareholder returns. Unilever expects the transaction to support about €6 billion of buybacks between 2026 and 2029. (Unilever)
Profitability and shareholder returns are improving alongside sales. Unilever completed its €800 million productivity programme ahead of schedule, lifted first-half underlying operating margin to 20.3%, increased the quarterly dividend by 3%, and completed a €1.5 billion buyback. (Unilever, Unilever)
The portfolio reshaping still carries execution risk. The Foods separation reduces Unilever’s exposure to a relatively high-margin business, and investors may need several more quarters of strong volume growth before accepting that this is a durable turnaround rather than a false dawn. (Reuters)
