1. Investment Thesis — Base Case

The most reasonable thesis projects a successful, albeit complex, transition following the Ice Cream division spin-off and share consolidation in late 2025. The 'Growth Action Plan' delivers steady improvements, with the core business achieving durable 3-5% USG driven by price-mix balance and modest volume recovery. The focus on 30 Power Brands reduces complexity and improves efficiency. Margins expand gradually by 30-50bps annually due to the productivity programme and favorable mix shifts towards Beauty & Wellbeing. While a radical re-rating is unlikely immediately, the removal of the supports a P/E stabilization around 18-19x. The stock offers a compelling total return profile (steady plus reliable dividends), reaching the 5500-6000p range by 2030.

2. Scenarios & Signals

Bull case

In the bull case, the separation of the Ice Cream division (completed Dec 2025) proves to be a masterstroke, unlocking significant shareholder value and leaving a streamlined, higher-growth entity. The remaining 'Power Brands' (accounting for 70%+ of turnover) deliver consistent Underlying Sales Growth (USG) of 5-6%, outpacing the market thanks to successful premiumisation and innovation in Beauty & Wellbeing and Personal Care. The productivity programme yields gross savings exceeding €800m annually, expanding by over 150bps by 2027. Emerging markets, particularly India and China, rebound strongly, providing a volume-led growth engine. Valuation multiples re-rate to 22-24x P/E as Unilever sheds its '' and trades in line with higher-growth peers like L'Oréal, pushing the share price toward 7000p by 2030.

Bear case

In the bear case, the operational complexity of the Ice Cream separation results in higher-than-expected dis-synergies and one-off costs, weighing on for 18-24 months. The remaining portfolio struggles to generate volume growth as consumers in developed markets trade down to private label alternatives amidst persistent cost-of-living pressures. The 'Power Brands' strategy fails to reinvigorate legacy Home Care brands, and competition from agile local players in emerging markets erodes . Margins remain flat as productivity savings are competed away through heavy promotional activity. Valuation de-rates to 14-15x P/E, similar to low-growth staples, causing the share price to drift down towards 3500-3800p, with the becoming the primary support.
