Recent Buy - Unilever


It's that time again where I make my monthly stock purchase. This time around I chose Unilever (UL). The markets had really been in a free fall for the last week or two but I never had the funds available to make a purchase till now. A bunch of stocks were looking cheap or at least cheaper. I had my eye on a few stocks including T, GSK, GE and ARCP to name a few but the markets started to recover and I thought I may miss out on some good deals.

Then Unilever posted earnings and the market didn't like what it heard citing slowing growth. Unilever got slammed pretty hard for a couple of days and I watched the price drop from over $41 to under $39. My brokerage account now had sufficient funds to make my minimum purchase so I placed my order.

I purchased 26 shares of UL at $39.09

A top maker of packaged consumer goods worldwide, Unilever products are sold in more than 190 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, North America, and Western Europe. The company's offerings span several categories, including savory, dressings, and spreads; ice cream and beverages; personal care; and home care. Unilever's portfolio boasts a dozen brands that each ring up more than €1 billion annually. Best sellers include Hellmann's (mayonnaise), Knorr (soups), Lipton (tea), Dove and Lux (soaps), and Sunsilk (hair care). Unilever is the operating arm of Netherlands-based Unilever N.V. and UK-based Unilever PLC.
