Ben & Jerry’s parent company Unilever plans a massive overhaul that includes job cuts and a global restructuring that will have the Vermont-based ice cream maker operate under a separate umbrella along with its sister brands Breyers and Klondike.
The popular seller of flavors like Chunky Monkey and Salted Caramel Brownie is one of more than 400 brands in the Unilever portfolio, which includes Dove, Lipton, Hellmann’s, Knorr and others.
Unilever investors expressed dismay last year when Ben & Jerry’s refused to sell its products in the Israeli-occupied West Bank — prompting demands for a boycott of the popular ice cream brand.
Unilever has said its hands were tied and it could not pressure Ben & Jerry’s to reverse its stance due to the terms of its $326 million acquisition of the ice cream maker in 2000.
Imagine being short UL on a day when markets are down so much and yet UL is up over 7%. 😂

How much will the stock go up when Jope announces his early retirement?

Can UL hire someone who is not interested in sustainability and ESG, and doesn't want to find a purpose for selling mayonnaise?

So, UL share price is headed to about what I paid in August 2016?? I know I’ve collected dividends along the way but still……

Congratulations to the management of Unilever. In 2 days the company lost 13% of its value. Great job!

congrats UL die hards! When it went under $50 I knew had to press the BUY button. Unloaded some today to buy bargains in Tech.

Failed bid, going to $40 soon.

So much for it getting hammered down for political reasons.

UL need to revisit acquisition strategy and look for quality brands with upside if they were part of the UL network. Short term I see more pain for UL as it navigates it restructuring. :(

I have just read fund Smith’s take on Unilever and it does make for some breathtaking reading. We just have to sit back and things will recover and not listen to the scaremongers.

Guys do you really think this the end of crypto?? I don't think so 😔

Excuse me but UL Failed bid to the GSK giant consumer unit and being in denial of its decreasing brand's gross margins are not a reason for a stock price increase of 14% . You got to kidding me. GL u r going to need it.

Surely Unilever won't try and buy the part from Glaxo with the stock diving like it did today. This was terrible.
