Unilever - Solid volumes, gross margin recovering

Sales and margins exceeded expectations, offset by a higher than expected forex impact. Outlook in line with our expectation, but consensus could move up by some 2%. Despite the progress on volumes and gross margin, the company is not happy with the performance and is aiming for further improvement.  We maintain our Hold rating and TP of EUR 51.
