Unilever's analyst price target has been revised lower to £37.00 from £43.00, as analysts balance slightly higher long term EPS assumptions with concerns that a valuation in line with U.S. peers may be difficult to justify. Analyst Commentary Recent research on Unilever shows a mix of optimism on earnings power and caution around how far the valuation can stretch, especially when compared with large U.S. consumer peers.
