Unilever Might Be on More Challenging Path -- Market Talk
Dow Jones05-27
0856 GMT - Unilever could be facing a tougher path than bulls anticipate, Jefferies analysts say in a note. The company's growth has been enhanced by M&A, but recent drivers like energy-drink Liquid IV and hair-growth product Nutrafol have slowed. The exit of the U.K. consumer-goods group's food business risks value leakage, while rising input costs threaten volumes. "Without a larger deal, the growth and valuation ambition look fragile." Shares are up 0.9% at 42.72 pounds. (aimee.look@wsj.com)
