Jul 28
0757 GMT - Unilever posted an exceptional volume growth performance in the second quarter, with a positive volume beat, Barclays's Warren Ackerman writes in a note. Acceleration in India, Brazil, Wellbeing and Home Care was expected, but the magnitude of overall growth was very high, he says. However, its foods results were softer, for which management pointed to weaker developed markets and higher competition for U.S. condiments, he says. However, the results overall highlight that Unilever's portfolio can deliver growth above that of many global staples peers. Shares are up around 6%. (aimee.look@wsj.com)
