Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

Unilever NV appears to be navigating a strategic shift by planning to spin off its Ben & Jerry ice cream brand, which is perceived as less healthy in favor of strengthening its portfolio in soap, fragrances, and personal care products. This move is expected to streamline operations and enhance profitability, particularly in segments that offer higher margins. Experts foresee this pivot as a response to changing consumer preferences towards healthier options, which may result in a positive reallocation of resources and innovation within more lucrative product lines. Overall, analysts believe that this strategy could position Unilever for improved financial performance and market competitiveness in the long run.

P&G, PG

BUY

They will spin off Ben & Jerry ice cream, less healthy good, and doubling down on soap, fragrances and personal care which offer bigger margins.

HOLD

Owns shares in company and likes prospects of business. Under performance of company not a concern. Emerging markets will present opportunity for growth. Inflation has made for tough times on the bottom line. Would recommend investors to be patient. Expecting positive changes in company with new activist investors.

BUY

UN vs. PG

Lots of activist pressure. Big and bulky, not growing in line with peers. Needs to improve efficiencies to boost profitability, possibly by breaking up or selling off divisions. Potential for earnings growth and multiple expansion, but you have to be patient. His preference on valuation.

BUY

Owns shares in the company.
Consumer stable business.
Large exposure to emerging markets.
Consumer packaged business expected to grow.
Inflation forcing company to increase prices.
Long term is a good investment.
~3.5% dividend yield.
New management later this year.

BUY

Well established company with many business lines around the world. Higher labor costs and inflation is a challenge for the company. Good company with a reasonable dividend. Excellent long term investment.

BUY

The USD has had a fantastic run, so why not buy these European companies that have so much of their sales in the U.S. You get them at a discount now, so they'll have the wind at their banks for the Euro and Swiss franc turn around against the dollar. He predicts a 5% lift in forex in the next 6-8 months. These companies have great balance sheets and cash in sectors that are global.

BUY

Company is good as it provides quality products that are globally diversified. Middle management being reduced is good for the business. Looking for an increase in the dividend. As Covid-19 ends, believes company will strengthen.

BUY

Not crazy about the fast, radical changes to a great company. Underlying value of the brands supports much higher share price. If market goes down, will outperform. Ongoing, really stable dividend growth well above inflation, with stock appreciation. Room for high-quality consumer stocks in everyone's portfolio.

WEAK BUY

UL vs. NSRGY He owns Nestle, reporting very good numbers and very good organic growth. The business itself is very good. Basically, it's a consumer tax. He continues to buy Nestle for new clients. UL has been a relative underperformer, though with potentially more upside.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The UN stock pays a dividend of 3.37% at a 77% payout ratio, safe though higher than the sector average of 58.53%. Trading at a 23.4x PE, UL trades slightly cheaper than competitors Procter & Gamble whose PE is 25x or Colgate-Palmolive at 26.3x. Read 3 Promising Euro Stocks to Buy for our full analysis.

HOLD

For income? She's adding to this and has long owned this. The share price is fair. 6% of revenues are in emerging markets, and that's why she owns it. Growth rates will be higher in EM while flat in developed countries. However, this reversed in 2020, because EM countries have been slower to contain Covid. At least you're paid 3.5% to wait.

TOP PICK

Shares are down 20% for little reason. Highly diversified, they're entrenched in emerging markets, though growth has slowed in recent years. He expects UN to shed the weaker tea division and buy brands in faster-growth organic health businesses. Pays a 3.5% dividend. There's consistent earnings and dividend growth. You need some consumer and healthcare stocks in addition to cyclical ones. (Analysts’ price target is $54.50)

DON'T BUY

Consumer staples, like REITs and utilities, are a safety haven, but staples are struggling to grow their toplines, given less clout with retailers for shelf space. UN has a lot of household products, but not luxury--their product suite doesn't grow that quickly and doesn't excite him like, say, Staples. At least you're paid a 3% dividend.

DON'T BUY

Kraft tried to buy UN, so UN tried to restructure and improve margins, but the CEO didn't do this. Nestle has outperformed them though trades at a higher valuation. UN should exit unsuccessful products and divisions. UN will struggle to meet margin requirements in the next little while. On Tuesday, UN issued a sales warning and sold off.
