'Unilever To Sell The Vegetarian Butcher To Vivera' - Unilever

Stocks in the United States are off to a choppy but positive start to the year, but the biggest story in markets so far in 2025 has been strength out of Europe.
Stock indices in England, France, and Germany have made new all-time highs in 2025, outpacing the modest gains from US stocks. The Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF is up more than 8% over the last three months, while the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF has traded flat.
Here&#8217;s how to get in on this rally.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="415" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181506/image7-1024x415.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800481" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181506/image7-1024x415.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181506/image7-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181506/image7-768x311.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181506/image7.png 1318w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The Stoxx 600 index, which covers markets across the bloc, made several new all-time highs in February, led by a surge from the defense sector. Is this finally the year that European stocks beat their American counterparts? With the United States threatening to pull back from Europe, these tailwinds may have more room to run, especially if the EU follows through on defense spending expansion.
Today we'll look at six European stocks that could continue outperforming in 2025. Some of these companies are available to US investors through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) or on over-the-counter (OTC) exchanges, so be sure to understand how these assets and markets function before putting any capital to work.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>)</h2>
Danish healthcare giant Novo Nordisk is responsible for Wegovy and Ozempic, two of the prescription GLP-1 medications taking the world by storm. Both are different forms of semaglutide, as Wegovy is FDA-approved for weight loss while Ozempic is only approved for Type 2 diabetes. Demand for these drugs has been so strong that shortages have been common, but the FDA recently announced that Wegovy and Ozempic are no longer on their shortage list.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="416" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181516/image1-1024x416.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800482" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181516/image1-1024x416.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181516/image1-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181516/image1-768x312.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181516/image1.png 1316w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Novo Nordisk suffered a lost year in 2024 during the shortage, losing ground to Eli Lilly's Mounjaro and Zepbound. However, the company is still the top player in the GLP-1 space and posted solid revenue (8.1%) and earnings (9.6%) growth in the most recent report for Q4 2024.
The company's margins are also the envy of European drug makers: 34.8% gross, far outpacing EU competitors AstraZeneca (13%) and Roche (17.5%). NVO also sits on a formidable $9.8 billion cash pile. NVO shares have been choppy since the start of 2025, but the company issued strong guidance and is well-positioned to rebound after a rough 2024.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unilever PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UL#NYSE">UL</a>)</h2>
Unilever is a global consumer and household products company that markets itself under popular brands such as Ben and Jerry's, Axe, Dove, Breyers, Vaseline, and many more. The firm has offices in over 80 countries, but its headquarters has been in London for more than 100 years.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="417" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181610/image6-1024x417.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800488" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181610/image6-1024x417.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181610/image6-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181610/image6-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181610/image6.png 1310w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Uncertainty is beginning to weigh on investors as US consumer discretionary stocks have been tumbling for most of February while consumer staples surge higher. There's some evidence that businesses and consumers have been pulling forward demand on tariff threats, which could further boost the staples sector if big-ticket items have been already purchased and consumers focus on necessities over luxuries.
UL has a strong cash position and healthy margins to take advantage of this trend; it's also cheaper in terms of forward price-to-earnings and price-to-sales rates than American counterparts like Proctor and Gamble, Kimberly-Clark, and Colgate-Palmolive.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>)</h2>
Now, on to the defense contractors, who have been leading the European rally due to expectations that EU governments will ramp up defense spending to counter the growing influence of China and Russia in the East. Companies like Rheinmetall AG have stolen the headlines with substantial early 2025 gains, but Airbus might be the best buy of the group going forward.Now, on to the defense contractors, who have been leading the European rally due to expectations that EU governments will ramp up defense spending to counter the growing influence of China and Russia in the East.

Airbus is under the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. (EADS) umbrella and has a market cap of $139 billion, nearly $33 billion more than its closest competitor, Safran SA. Airbus has a cheaper valuation than Safran or Rheinmetall and a healthier free cash flow pile ($3.9 billion). Airbus might not be lagging in the European defense sector for much longer.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BNP Paribas SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNPQY#OTC">BNPQY</a>)</h2>
BNP Paribas is a French bank and component of the CAC40, the country&#8217;s primary stock index. With a market value of over $80 billion, it is double the size of other European banking competitors like Societe Generale and Deutsche Bank.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="417" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181526/image2-1024x417.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800483" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181526/image2-1024x417.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181526/image2-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181526/image2-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181526/image2.png 1310w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
BNP Paribas is attractive for several reasons, none more so than the 7.03 forward P/E ratio and 1.22 P/S ratio. Many European banks have extremely affordable valuations, but BNP offers the security of a large-cap with the upside of a smaller company. Plus, the 5% dividend yield is a nice bonus for investors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hermes International ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HESAY#OTC">HESAY</a>)</h2>
If one luxury brand can survive a consumer slowdown, it might be Hermes International, the high-end French brand with a nearly $300 billion market cap and some of the most desirable handbags in the world. In addition to handbags, Hermes sells clothing for men and women, equestrian products like saddles and bridles, jewelry, perfumes, watches, and tableware.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="417" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181535/image3-1024x417.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800484" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181535/image3-1024x417.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181535/image3-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181535/image3-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181535/image3.png 1310w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Hermes has a pricey valuation compared to European competitors like Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Burberry, but the free cash pile is large ($5.38 billion) and the 30% profit margin dwarfs them all. The stock is up more than 38% in the last three months alone, but the fundamentals are strong, and the stock is comfortably above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of 55.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ABB Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBNY#OTC">ABBNY</a>)</h2>
ABB Ltd. is a multinational robotics and automation solutions company incorporated in Switzerland and Sweden. The company has several divisions of interest to the defense and aeronautics sector, such as Electrification, Process Automation, and Robotics and Discrete Automation. The stock has a market cap of just under $102 billion and pays a 1.7% dividend yield.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="414" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181543/image4-1024x414.png" alt="" class="wp-image-800485" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181543/image4-1024x414.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181543/image4-300x121.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181543/image4-768x311.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/26181543/image4.png 1305w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
ABB Ltd. currently sits on a $4.2 billion cash pile and a forward P/E ratio of 22.6, with a profit margin of 11.9%. The stock has been range-bound since spring 2024 and recently dipped down to its 50-day moving average. If the 50-day proves to be a support level, the next leg higher for ABBNY shares could be right around the corner.

'Ben & Jerry's Founders Discuss Buying Back Brand From Unilever' - Bloomberg News

On Tuesday, consumer packaged goods major Unilever plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UL#NYSE">UL</a>) announced a leadership change. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.unilever.com/news/press-and-media/press-releases/2025/unilever-board-update-25-02-25/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hein Schumacher</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.unilever.com/news/press-and-media/press-releases/2025/unilever-board-update-25-02-25/" rel="noreferrer noopener"> will step down</a> from his position as CEO and Board Director by mutual agreement on 1 March 2025.
Schumacher will officially leave the company on 31 May 2025. Beginning 1 March 2025, Fernando Fernandez, who currently serves as Unilever's Chief Financial Officer, will assume the CEO role.
"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Hein for resetting Unilever's strategy, for the focus and discipline he has brought to the company and for the solid financial progress delivered during 2024. Hein introduced and led a significant productivity programme and the commencement of the Ice Cream separation, both of which are fully on track," said Chairman Ian Meakins.
Unilever is in the process of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43694382/consumer-giant-unilever-warns-on-slower-start-to-2025-ice-cream-spin-off-moves-forward-with-amsterdam-incorporation" rel="noreferrer noopener">separating its Ice Cream division </a>through a demerger and list on the Amsterdam, London, and New York stock exchanges, matching the current markets where Unilever shares are traded.

He has also managed Unilever's operations across Latin America, Brazil, and the Philippines, driving strong performance in these regions.
"The Board has been impressed with Fernando's decisive and results-oriented approach and his ability to drive change at speed," said Meakins.
As part of the leadership change, Unilever will initiate a search for a permanent CFO. In the interim, Srinivas Phatak, who is currently Unilever's Deputy Chief Financial Officer and Group Controller, will assume the role of acting CFO starting 1 March 2025.
The company confirmed that despite the leadership shake-up, Unilever's financial outlook for 2025 and medium-term guidance will not be altered.
Both Schumacher and Fernandez will continue to receive fixed pay, with Schumacher's pay being in place until his departure in May 2025, as per the company's remuneration policy.

Unilever Appoints Fernando Fernandez As New CEO Following Hein Schumacher's Departure; Srinivas Phatak Appointed Interim CFO

Unilever shares are trading lower after the company released its 2024 sales and volume growth numbers and announced the demerger with its ice cream business is on track.

Shares of consumer goods major Unilever PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UL#NYSE">UL</a>) are trading <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">lower in premarket</a> on Thursday.
The company announced that it is making solid progress toward <a target="_blank" href="https://www.unilever.com/news/press-and-media/press-releases/2025/improved-performance-led-by-volume-growth-and-gross-margin-expansion/" rel="noreferrer noopener">separating </a>its Ice Cream division, with plans to finish the process by the close of 2025.
Significant steps have been taken in critical areas, such as forming legal entities, creating an independent operating structure, and finalizing the required financial separation documents.
Last year, Unilever said it planned to spin off its Ice Cream division and concentrate on a portfolio of brands that are well-positioned in desirable markets with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37815586/chilling-changes-unilever-to-separate-iconic-ice-cream-brands-in-strategic-shake-up" rel="noreferrer noopener">complementary business models</a>.
The Ice Cream unit includes notable global ice cream brands, such as Wall&#8217;s, Magnum, and Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s.
Jean-Francois van Boxmeer has been named Chair Designate for the newly independent Ice Cream business. With extensive experience in the consumer goods industry, van Boxmeer is currently the Chair of Vodafone Group Plc and a non-executive director at Heineken Holding N.V.
The Ice Cream unit will be separated through a demerger and listed on the Amsterdam, London, and New York stock exchanges, matching the current markets where Unilever shares are traded.
The Ice Cream business will be incorporated in the Netherlands, and its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37916172/unilevers-ice-cream-unit-may-find-home-in-amsterdam-over-london-report">headquarters will be maintained in Amsterdam.</a>

The decision comes after a thorough evaluation by Unilever&#8217;s Board of Directors, aimed at maximizing returns for shareholders while positioning the Ice Cream business for future success.
For the fiscal year 2024, Unilever reported a 4.2% increase in underlying sales, driven by a 2.9% growth in volume.
&nbsp;Turnover&nbsp;rose by 1.9% to 60.8 billion euros ($63.16 billion), with a negative impact of -0.7% from currency fluctuations and -1.5% from net divestments.
Power Brands, which account for over 75% of turnover, led the growth with a 5.3% underlying sales growth and a 3.8% increase in volume.
Brand and marketing investment rose by 120 basis points to 15.5%, marking the highest level in more than a decade.
The underlying operating margin grew by 170 basis points to 18.4%, while the gross margin expanded by 280 basis points.
Underlying earnings per share rose by 14.7%, though diluted EPS fell 10.6% due to losses from disposals and increased spending on productivity initiatives.
The quarterly dividend was increased by 6.1% compared to fourth-quarter FY23, and a new 1.5 billion euros share buyback program was announced.
Outlook: Unilever expects a slower start to 2025 with subdued growth in the short term, but both market conditions and growth are expected to improve as the year progresses, driven by price hikes reflecting higher commodity costs in 2025.
The company forecasts underlying sales growth for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">2025 of 3% &#8211; 5%.</a>
Price Action: UL shares are trading lower by 6.26% at $55.44 in premarket at the las check Thursday.

Super Bowl Commercials 2025: Complete List of Super Bowl LIX Ads And Companies Behind Them

Along with watching the NFL championship matchup of the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles and a halftime show from Kendrick Lamar, viewers will get to watch lots of high-priced<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/super-bowl"> Super Bowl commercials.</a>
A new Benzinga poll asked if the high cost of these ads was worth it.
What Happened: NFL media partner Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43324031/super-bowl-lix-commercials-hit-record-8-million-how-fox-corporation-can-win-from-nfl-championship"> will air Super Bowl LIX </a>and the commercials that go along with it.
While Fox will use a portion of its inventory space to promote its own shows and Tubi streaming platform, the company will also sell its ad space with an estimated cost of $7 million to $8 million per 30-second slot.
Fox was even able to get $8 million or more from some last-minute ad slots.
"Super Bowl LIX commercials cost around $7 million each. Do you think this is a smart marketing investment?" Benzinga recently asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Yes: 39%</li>
<li>No: 61%</li>
</ul>
The majority of voters in the poll said they didn&#8217;t think the $7 million cost for a Super Bowl commercial is worth it. This could be bad news for the companies shelling out millions for their first Super Bowl ads Sunday.
Another Benzinga poll asked about the impact of seeing Super Bowl commercials last year.
"Did you look up any brands or advertisers after watching last year's Super Bowl ads?" 
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Yes: 18%</li>
<li>No: 82%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that 18% of people looked up a company or brand after seeing a Super Bowl commercial for it.

Why It's Important: Last year's Super Bowl<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/02/37109382/super-bowl-lviii-sets-modern-day-viewership-record-how-did-nfl-championship-compare-to-apollo-11-mo"> set a record </a>with an average of 123 million viewers, with 202.4 million people watching at least a portion of the game.
This year's Super Bowl could set records once again or continue the trend of having an average viewership of over 100 million people and setting new streaming records.
During the 2024 NFL season, the Chiefs were the most-watched team, helping several media companies set records for viewership.
While the cost is high at $7 million, there are not many events that get this kind of television audience and a Super Bowl commercial can mean big things for companies of all sizes.
Among the companies airing their first ever Super Bowl commercials that could see a big impact from the high cost of an ad are:
<ul>
<li>Totino's, brand of General Mills (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>)</li>
<li>Coffee mate, brand of Nestle (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSRGY#OTC">NSRGY</a>)</li>
<li>Hims &amp; Hers Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>)</li>
<li>Duracell, brand of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)</li>
<li>NerdWallet</li>
<li>Häagen-Dazs</li>
<li>HexClad</li>
<li>Angel Soft, brand of Georgia-Pacific</li>
<li>Bosch</li>
<li>Liquid Death</li>
<li>Cirkul</li>
<li>Fetch</li>
<li>MSC Cruises</li>
<li>OpenAI</li>
</ul>
Along with debuts, companies can also make headlines for advertisements that have celebrities, athletes or are heartwarming. Booking.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKNG#NASDAQ">BKNG</a>) features several Muppets and has an easy-to-remember website, which could see traffic after the Super Bowl.
Hellmann's, a brand of Unilever (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UL#NYSE">UL</a>) has a reunion of Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan from "When Harry Met Sally" that could have people talking.
Fox is presumably hoping that, along with record viewership, people will be talking about its advertisements and Tubi streaming platform that will have prominent billing during the ad spaces.

</ul>
The study was conducted by Benzinga from Feb. 4, 2025 through Feb. 6, 2025. It included the responses of a diverse population of adults 18 or older. Opting into the survey was completely voluntary, with no incentives offered to potential respondents. The study reflects results from 88 adults.

EXCLUSIVE: Is Super Bowl $7M Ad Cost Worth It? 61% Say No, 18% Say They Looked Up Companies After Last Year's NFL Championship

The Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to win a third straight Super Bowl on Sunday with a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. While millions of NFL fans will tune in for the big game, millions will also tune in to see the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl commercials.</a>
What Happened: NFL media partner Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) has the rights to Super Bowl LIX and set its sights on charging $7 million for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43324031/super-bowl-lix-commercials-hit-record-8-million-how-fox-corporation-can-win-from-nfl-championship">30-second commercial slots.</a>
The media company was able to secure the majority of its ad slots in the $7 million to $7.5 million range and some last-minute availability came with a price tag of $8 million. Fox also saw strong demand and price increases compared to last year for the pre-game and post-game slots.
While some companies are skeptical to advertise during the Super Bowl due to the high cost, last year's record viewership could lure major brands back, as the game remains one of the most-watched events in the U.S. annually.

'Unilever To Slim Down But Not Spin Off Food Business, Says Chief' - Financial Times

"Unilever has shelved plans to run a sales process for its €15bn ice-cream division to private equity groups and will instead focus on a push to spin-off the unit in an independent listing. The consumer goods group announced in March that it would split off its ice-cream business, and it attempted to drum up interest from buyout groups for the division, which includes brands such as Ben &amp; Jerry's, Magnum and Wall's. However, the division's large size and complicated supply chain were among factors that led private equity firms to cool their interest on a potential deal, according to people familiar with the matter. The people cautioned that a bidder could still emerge. "
