Unilever Raises Sales and Volume Forecasts on 4.8% First Half Growth
Unilever raised its full-year guidance to a 4% to 6% underlying sales growth forecast and lifted its volume outlook to around 3% after reporting a 4.8% increase in first-half sales driven by a 4.2% surge in volumes.
Beauty and wellbeing sales rose 8.1%, while home care grew 9.1%, both segments led by volume gains. The results were accompanied by broader market activity, as consumer goods companies recorded sales surges following a recent World Cup marketing blitz, though volume growth in food remained weak at a 0.2% increase.
