UBS has cut its price target for Unilever PLC (LSE:ULVR), the consumer goods group, to 4,390p from 4,440p after reducing its 2026 earnings forecast by 1%. The bank retained its 12-month 'sell' rating, while Unilever's shares were priced at 4,542p in the research note dated 6 October.
Unilever PLC (LSE:ULVR) is on JP Morgan's 'positive watch', and Haleon PLC (LSE:HLN, NYSE:HLN) on 'negative watch', ahead of third-quarter reporting by European consumer staples companies. The note adds Givaudan to positive watch alongside Unilever, Heineken N.V.
The main criticism has long been McCormick's persistently high valuation, typically at the high end of the consumer discretionary range, creating a hurdle for value-conscious investors—but that hurdle is not present this year. Trading at approximately 15x its current-year earnings forecast, the stock is as cheap as it's going to get, and a robust recovery could lie ahead.
Unilever "refuses to engage" with union body IUF over demands that a two-year employment guarantee agreed with European workers under its planned food business merger with McCormick be applied to all staff globally, the IUF said in a memo seen by Reuters.
Britain's competition regulator on Wednesday said it has launched an investigation into McCormick & Company's planned acquisition of the majority of Unilever's foods business to assess whether the deal could reduce competition in UK markets.
Unilever PLC remains a Hold, as its current valuation reflects a balanced risk-reward and leaves little margin of safety. UL delivered its strongest volume growth in over 15 years, with Q2 underlying sales up 5.8% and margin improvement, supported by emerging markets. Portfolio streamlining, including potential divestitures and the McCormick deal, positions UL for capital influx and future buybacks, but macro and private label risks persist.

Unilever is betting that shedding food assets and focusing on beauty, personal care and home products will close a valuation gap with more focused rivals. The challenge is convincing investors that a simpler company can deliver higher returns.
Unilever offers unique exposure to emerging market growth, with 60% of revenue sourced from developing economies—double that of key peers. UL combines high emerging market growth (Q2 2026: 8.9% in Latin America, 10% in India) with developed-market defensiveness (24-month Beta of 0.16). The company's local production, established brand loyalty, and rural micro-distribution network are difficult to replicate, providing a deep competitive moat in emerging markets.
The dismissed claims relate primarily to how Ben and Jerry's operates, while the two claims that survived in full relate to missed payments by Unilever.
