ULVR: Margin And U.S. Slowdown Concerns Will Keep Shares Subdued

Analysts have made a small trim to their Unilever fair value estimate to about €40.87 per share, reflecting slightly higher assumed future P/E, a modestly lower discount rate, and mixed sector views that now include a downgrade to Neutral and a cautious stance on valuation, despite a higher Jefferies price target to £41.00. Analyst Commentary Recent research points to a cautious tone around Unilever, with several bearish analysts focusing on valuation, earnings visibility, and execution risks over the next couple of years.
