Unilever (ISIN GB00BVZK7T90) raised its full-year volume-growth outlook to at least 3 percent after third-quarter underlying sales growth reached 5.2 percent. In its October 28, 2026 release, the company also reported 2.9 percent volume growth and 2.3 percent price growth.

Volume lifts the outlook

The new volume threshold is the clearest change for investors. Unilever kept its full-year underlying sales-growth range at 4 percent to 6 percent and continued to expect a modest improvement in underlying operating margin from 20.0 percent in 2025.

Third-quarter turnover reached EUR 13.3 billion, up 6.7 percent from the prior-year period. Power Brands delivered 5.8 percent underlying sales growth, while Home Care led the business groups with 9.1 percent growth.

Foods remains the weak spot

The performance was uneven across the portfolio. Foods delivered only 0.1 percent underlying sales growth, including a 1.1 percent volume decline, as emerging-market growth was offset by weaker developed-market retail and competition in US condiments.

Unilever said its proposed combination of the Foods business with McCormick remains on track. The company said regulatory filings had been submitted and that closing remains subject to shareholder approval, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.

What dates matter next?

Unilever published its third-quarter trading statement on October 28, 2026. The company investor calendar lists an Investor Event for November 4, 2026, when management plans to explain how its transformation is creating a more focused business.

Stock price and investor view

The results improve the operating comparison for the stock, but the weak Foods performance remains a counterweight to the stronger Home Care and emerging-market figures. The quarterly interim dividend was EUR 0.4664, 3.0 percent above the third-quarter 2025 dividend, according to the company release.
