Unilever PLC said Tuesday that it expects underlying sales growth for the full year to exceed previous guidance, driven by higher prices, although volumes are forecast to be under pressure.

The Anglo-Dutch retailer--which owns consumer brands such as Ben & Jerry's ice cream, Dove soap and Cif and Domestos cleaning products--said it currently sees underlying sales growth ahead of the previously guided range of 4.5% to 6.5%.

"The medium-term macroeconomic and cost inflation outlooks are uncertain and volatile, but delivering growth remains our first priority. Against this backdrop, we continue to expect to improve margin in 2023 and 2024, through pricing, mix and savings," it said.

The company posted underlying sales growth of 8.1% for the first half of the year, with a decrease of 1.6% in volumes and an increase of 9.8% in prices. Analysts' consensus for underlying sales growth was 7.2%, according to a forecast taken from the company's website.

For the second quarter, sales growth came in at 8.8%, beating the company's compiled consensus of 7%.

The company said first-half pretax profit was 4.36 billion euros ($4.46 billion) compared with EUR4.37 billion a year earlier.

Turnover came in at EUR29.6 billion, including EUR15.8 billion in the second quarter. Analysts expected half year and second quarter turnover of EUR29.04 billion and EUR15.26 billion, respectively.

The board declared a quarterly dividend of 42.68 European cents a share, the same amount as for the first half of 2021.

taken in isolation the results arent knocking it out of the park, the inc in sales is mostly down to higher prices and margins have moved lower and are now guided lower. however they have guided sales higher fromk here and so compared to philips whirpool and a few others, the results are pretty decent.
on the us listing the down channel comes in at 48 dollars or so today. if they can break above that, then you could see a marked move hgiher. so todays price action will be important, as a failure here will mean the bounce may well be over.

Back at £40 😀

Based on today's results I am now holding for longer. With the wider economic problems out there this safe haven will come up on many peoples radar today and the recent run will encourage them to hop on I think.

Additional notes from the pressUnilever had previously forecast full-year underlying sales growth at the top end of a range of 4.5% to 6.5%. It said on Tuesday it now expects underlying sales growth to be above that range, driven by prices with some further pressure on volume.Its half-year turnover rose 14.9% to 29.6 billion euros ($30.25 billion).One of the biggest consumer companies in the world, making everything from laundry detergent to ice cream, Unilever's costs have surged since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic created global supply chain logjams.War in Ukraine has since boosted energy costs and sent prices of raw materials such as wheat, sunflower oil and pulp used in packaging to record highs.Its first-half operating profit margin fell to 17% from 18.8% a year earlier.The company previously said it expected its full-year underlying operating margin to fall by between 140 and 240 basis points, or by 16% to 17%, with the bulk of the hit expected in the first half."Underlying sales growth of 8.1% was driven by strong pricing to mitigate input cost inflation, which, as expected, had some impact on volume," CEO Alan Jope said on Tuesday. "The challenges of inflation persist and the global macroeconomic outlook is uncertain, but we remain intensely focused on operational excellence and delivery in 2022."

It does look like the long bear market in ULVR has come to an end, at least for the medium term. Don't see a problem at £40 share price It may stumble there a couple of times as investors usually get nervous with round number barriers, but fairly confident it should clear it easily before this year is out.

I wonder what's happened to Porsche. He's gone unusually quiet. ;-)

Yes I think £40 is going to be a tough nut to crack too.

To be at the same level as the start of 2022 is no mean feat in this market and at the very best I think it could push to £43.

I recently missed out taking money off the table from BP when it got to 440 and kicked myself. I don't think I will do the same here as while it's a solid defensive play, taking a bit off the table in good times is never a bad thing.

Agree that was my Target £ 40, need good news in HY Results to push above £ 40, highly possible as Euro in doldrums the US earnings will help & of course Ice Cream sales had a great boost!.

Farcical turn of events where Ben & Jerry's are suing their parent company. Maybe Unilever should countersue over B & J's willful destruction of the business in Israel?

Sorry typo as at work, Tea Business of course sold in "billions" 4.5 Billion.
Also to add Heatwave in India & parts of Europe in Q2, has seen ice-cream sales accelerate!.
An article from New Indian Express below 5th May 22;

"Ice cream sales revive after two years, as heatwaves sweep across country
Some companies, in fact, have been seeing a growth of over 50 per cent this season and the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the industry in last two years".

50% great, I will stock up on Magnums this weekend for UK hot spell.

Mentioned back in May, ULVR has vast experience in operating in inflationary countries, Argentina & Turkey so coping better than most. Also more positives Palm Oil & Oil price falling, so recent price increases will flow to bottom line, quite quickly. Tea money Euro 4.5 million due soon, good time to be liquid, to snap up competitors, many smaller competitors struggling. Best part kept best Tea/coffee brands in India & Indonesia, Tea & Coffee brands No. 1. in India. HY price rises at least 8%, Volume - 1% to - 2%, any better & a rally on results.

This is a bizarre turn of events:

"...Ben & Jerry's sues Unilever over sale of Israeli business..."

Possible due to their independent board structure (what were they thinking?).

Unilever: A Potential Must-Own Stock In An Inflationary Environment
Jul. 04, 2022

Summary
Unilever's brands are positioned well to navigate whatever is to come economically, it has already grown 7.3% in Q1 in response to inflation.
The impact of inflation will reduce profits, but on a relative basis, Unilever will become more attractive.
5 years of stagnation has left Unilever average at best compared to its peers, operations outside of EMEA could change things, however.
We rate Unilever a buy.

Unilever Could Face Persistent Cost Inflation

0919 GMT - Unilever's margins are expected to improve in the second quarter but are still seen remaining under pressure given that inflation seems set to stay in 2023, analysts at Jefferies say.

However, they estimate that a volume/mix--the price effect from the variation between price and number of units sold--margin for the 2Q to be -1.4%, ahead of the market consensus of -2.0%, driven by stronger pricing.

The analysts also expect a volume tailwind as the consumer-goods giant benefits from a normalized ice cream season in Europe.

Jefferies has a buy recommendation on the stock and a price target of 4,130 pence.
