Antoine Prevot has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Unilever’s potential for growth and stability. One of the key reasons is the anticipated improvement in Emerging Markets, which is expected to drive significant growth for Unilever by 2026. The company’s strategic focus on these markets, particularly in Asia, is projected to yield positive results as trends in countries like India, Indonesia, and China are showing improvement.
Additionally, Unilever’s ability to maintain solid margins and its strategic capital allocation priorities contribute to the Buy rating. The company’s shift towards a global approach and the CEO’s emphasis on volume growth and gross margin are expected to enhance its performance. Furthermore, Unilever’s commitment to organic investments and share buybacks, along with its strong dividend payout, reinforces confidence in its long-term growth prospects.
In another report released yesterday, Barclays also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a £55.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 94 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is neutral on the stock.
