Portfolio reshaping advances amid share buybacks and asset divestitures

Unilever has completed several corporate actions, including cancelling 13,288,138 ordinary shares held in treasury and finalizing a €1.5 billion share buyback earlier in 2025. The company continues its portfolio reshaping by agreeing to sell its Graze healthier snacking brand to Katjes International and preparing the spin-off and separate listing of Magnum Ice Cream Company, pending regulatory approval. Unilever also reported ongoing quarterly dividend payments and addressed deficiencies in the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation’s governance in collaboration with the soon-to-be-spun-off Magnum unit.

Bearish signals dominate with weak momentum and oversold conditions

Technical analysis shows ULVR is under bearish pressure, as prices sit below all key moving averages and the Ichimoku Kijun resistance at GBX 4,551.50. Support is identified near GBX 4,392.00. Momentum is weak: the MACD and Awesome Oscillator indicate a sell bias, ADX remains neutral, and RSI, Stochastic RSI, and CCI all confirm persistent oversold or selling conditions. The BBP reflects dominant seller control in the intraday action, with most daily indicators supporting a bearish outlook.

Further weakness likely as rebound odds remain low near resistance

In the near term, ULVR is likely to remain within a volatility band of GBX 4,400.00 to GBX 4,500.00 over the next five trading days. The probability of a meaningful rebound is very low (under 20%), favoring additional weakness or a sideways move. A break above the GBX 4,551.50 resistance is needed to shift momentum bullish, while a close below GBX 4,400.00 would reinforce the prevailing bearish scenario.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees prolonged bearish sentiment in Unilever PLC, as prices remain below all major moving averages and key technical resistance. He believes recent corporate actions and ongoing portfolio adjustments provide little near-term support, with momentum and volatility indicators pointing to further weakness or range-bound trading. The analyst maintains a cautious stance due to persistent selling conditions and lack of positive catalysts. "Unless GBX 4,551.50 is reclaimed, I expect the bearish tone to persist and see no case for a meaningful rebound in the short term."

Previously it was reported that Unilever PLC maintained short-, medium-, and long-term bearish momentum, remaining below major moving averages as technical indicators—including RSI, MACD, and ADX—confirmed ongoing downside pressure and weak trend strength. Bull/Bear Power continued to signal seller dominance and price action traded in a narrow band with persistent pressure after the open, leaving the probability of a bullish reversal limited amid prevailing negative signals.
