Our note on each quarter Unilever files

Where Unilever PLC stands after its latest Filing

Revenue for the twelve months was $57.1bn, up 0.6% on a year earlier, slower than the 1.6% growth a quarter earlier. That puts it 10 of 12 for growth among the household products companies we cover. Free-cash-flow margin held at 13.4%. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades C+. It passes 2 of our 7 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $41.10 a share, against a share price of $65.26. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in about 8.5% a year of cash-flow growth for five years, faster than the -0.3% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

Written from the company's filings and our models when each quarter's report arrives. Figures in older notes are as published at the time. Not investment advice.

The Fundamentalytics view

Unilever PLC's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 0.6% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 13.4%. Where it stands out: net margin of 18.7% ranks 1 of 12 household products companies we cover. Where it lags: revenue growth of 0.6% ranks 10 of 12 household products companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$41 per share in the base case (~$28–$59 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow fell 10.7% while net income grew 72.3%: a 83pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Highlights

How we pick these

Strengths

  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 1.5% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.

Things to watch

  • Priced above our value. The share price of $66.44 is 38% above our value per share of $41.
  • Weak cash conversion. Free cash flow was 71% of net income over the last 12 months.
  • Below peers: revenue growth. Revenue growth of 0.6% ranks 10 of 12 household products companies we cover (median 2.2%).
  • Below peers: change in growth rate. Change in growth rate of -1.0pp ranks 10 of 12 household products companies we cover (median -0.1pp).

Valuation

Unilever PLC valuation models and calculator

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 8.5% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is faster than the -0.3% a year revenue growth Unilever has delivered.

  • Priced in8.5%
  • Last 12 months0.6%
  • 3 years a year-3.4%
  • 5 years a year-0.3%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($65.22, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Unilever PLC's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($7.1B, FY2025 Q4 TTM), growing 2% a year for five years and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$27–~$59 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Unilever PLC's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $7.1B, FY2025 Q4 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Unilever PLC as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 7%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.45 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Consensus figures average analysts' published estimates (third-party data); guidance is the company's own. Neither is our forecast. Short interest is reported twice a month and lags. Market data may be delayed.

This section is general information, not investment advice or a personal recommendation, and it does not take account of your objectives or circumstances. Forecasts and guidance are estimates, not promises: companies miss their own guidance and analysts' figures are often revised. Prices can fall as well as rise, and you can lose money.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Unilever PLC’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Implied vs realised volatility

Not enough history

There is not enough price history to measure realised volatility.

  • Puts are priced 3 points richer than calls (25-delta): the market is paying up for downside protection, which favours selling puts over calls.
  • Why: not enough price history to measure realised volatility.

Our rule for “rich”: implied at least 1.2× 60-day realised (beyond measurement noise), above 1-year realised (not just a calm spell), and in the top 20% of our coverage that day. Never with results inside the option’s life. These are our conventions, built on research showing option prices usually imply more movement than follows, most when the gap is wide. How we judge this.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: rated Sell.

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

UL Unilever PLC Grade C+ $66.51

Own 100 shares, sell the $67.50 call expiring December 18, 2026 (46 days) for $1.45 a share — $145 per contract.

Previous session · Bid $1.45, ask $1.65, quoted Mon 2 Nov, 17:38 New York time with UL at $66.51. Option prices move with the shares: check the live chain at your broker before trading.

  • If UL ends below $67.50: you keep your shares and the $145 — 2.2% extra on the position, 17.3% a year at that pace.
  • If it ends above $67.50: your shares are sold at $67.50, a total return of 3.7% including the premium — at or above our value of ~$41.

Collar

Own the shares, buy the $65.00 put and sell the $67.50 call, both expiring December 18, 2026 (46 days).

  • Net cost of $0.30 a share ($30.00 per contract of 100 shares).
  • Worst case at expiry: -2.7%, if the shares fall below $65.00 (-2.3% from today).
  • Best case at expiry: +1.0%, if the shares rise above $67.50 (+1.5%); gains beyond that go to the call buyer.

Offered because the shares trade at or above our fair value of $41.00: a way to hold on with a floor under the price, paid for by giving up upside the model does not expect. Strikes near 25-delta; the put at its ask and the call at its bid. Protection has a cost over time: research on protective puts finds they have usually lowered returns.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.
