Hello Share Trouncers. We’ve already discussed the likelihood of take-overs of big British firms now that we have a low pound following the Brexit vote. An example is Unilever (ULVR) and Kraft Heinz. So now let’s look at the Unilever situation more closely.
Hello Share Takers. You’ve probably noticed that there has been a shortage of good take-over stories recently. This might put you off your guard. You might decide it is not worth holding onto a share which has long been in the rumour mill, just because this sort of deal is becoming as rare as budgie teeth.
Unilever (ULVR), the owner of branded product such as Lynx, Domestos and PG Tips, reported revenues down 6.3 per cent due to adverse currency movements. The slowdown in emerging markets has translated into falling currencies and the UK big exporters are feeling the pain. That is the main reason why the stock has underperformed the general market in the past year.
The Unilever (ULVR) share price has been dropping stone like since May. The trading statement for Q3 assisted the process, speaking of weakening growth in emerging markets. The share price, last seen was 2318p. Time to buy?
