Unilever plans $3 6 billion buyback as China and home cooks boost growth

Unilever announced a 3 billion euro ($3.6 billion) share buyback and said it was confident of hitting sales targets this year, after demand from home cooks and China helped it to beat first-quarter sales expectations. Shares in the maker of Dove soap and Ben and Jerry s ice cream climbed as much as 4% on Thursday, after it joined rivals such as Nestle and Procter & Gamble in reporting strong sales of food and cleaning products respectively in the pandemic. Underlying sales jumped 5.7% in the three months to the end of March, topping analysts average forecast of 3.9%, according to a company supplied consensus. These are encouraging numbers, said Steve Clayton, portfolio manager of Hargreaves Lansdown s Select UK Shares funds. Unilever gains much of its strength through the group s diversity.
