gotcha I thought HUL was the jewel in the crown of Unilever? The competition in India is fierce. Unilever has lots of firepower though. |

So after after 14 years of Tory government you still blame things on labour? Research actually suggests that economic growth in the last 100 years has actually been very similar under both parties with labour being a little more consistent. The problem in the UK is short termism. Successful businesses get sold off to foreign buyers far too readily. Hardly the environment to encourage investment. And pension funds are too risk averse. They hold far too high a proportion of bonds versus shares. |
any thoughts on what's up with this share? fmcg is very much an unloved sector atm... |
Hein SchumacherHein Schumacher CEO at Unilever
Very pleased to share that Liquid I.V. – the number one powdered hydration brand in the US, and one of Unilever’s top 30 power brands – has this week launched in the UK and Australia, following the successful expansion into Canada and China.
Liquid I.V. is taking hydration beyond sports to all lifestyles, helping to restore electrolyte balance lost through exercise, travel, heat, and much more. In the US, the brand has been connecting with pop culture events, partnerships and influencers to capture consumers’ attention. It’s a blockbuster brand that has quadrupled in size since Unilever acquired it in 2020, helping our Health & Wellbeing business consistently deliver double-digit, volume-led growth.
Congratulations to the teams that made this week’s launch a success!

UK still suffering from disastrous Blair/Brown economic policies, especially regarding pensions and investments. If UK pensions are not encouraged to buy UK equity then what do you expect. Avoid UK stocks. |
Considering how chronically under invested the ftse is, Amsterdam would be a wiser option. I don't know why investors are snobbing the UK. |

Unilever food brands on chopping block: Could Marmite be next to be sold?

It would be a disgrace if Unilever is selling the ice cream business because of the ben and jsrry wokism. Ah option should be to spin off the ice cream business and sell bB&j |

How have the Tories f the UK stock market? |
Watched the Fundsmith AGM recently. They seemed quite positive on Unilever and its future share price performance, especially given poor performance over recent years. They were also more positive about the new management, as they could not be much worse than the previous incumbents.
Fundsmith AGM was before ice cream spin-off so don't know their thoughts on that.
I hold hoping Terry is correct!

Amazing how this is still below buffets offer. Appalling management |
Back to where it started! |
No doubt others like Nestle will be eyeing up the ice cream business. |
Thanks again, LLB. |
Marmite and Dove soap-owner Unilever is to cut about 7,500 jobs worldwide, as part of an extensive three-year cost-saving plan.
The group also said it would split off its ice cream business which includes the Wall's, Ben & Jerry's and Magnum brands.
The food and household goods giant said the spin-off will start immediately and should be completed by the end of 2025.
Unilever said the shake-up would help it to "do fewer things better".
The job cuts, which Unilever said would mostly affect office staff, represent more than 5% of its 128,000 global workforce and are aimed at saving around €800m (£684m) over the next three years. |
#Kenyo, a demerger of Ice Cream is the most likely separation route, and in that case we expect the company to operate with a capital structure in line with comparable listed companies.
Separation activity will begin immediately, with full separation expected by the end of 2025. Further information will be provided in due course.
So yes, something like the GSK/HLN spin off in 2022.. |
