    Inside a tub of Ben & Jerry's, Unilever's costs surge

    Despite some signs inflationary pressures are easing, Unilever warned on Thursday of big increases in the prices of dairy, soybean oil, cocoa and sugar in the first half of this year - potentially bad news for fans of its Ben & Jerry's Half Baked ice cream. Unilever, which is passing on about three-quarters of its expenses to consumers, said its profit margins had fallen more than two percentage points as it battles cost inflation that started with the COVID pandemic and worsened due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and extreme weather. "It's principally around the costs of labour, logistics and energy and what our suppliers see in their own production bases," finance chief Graeme Pitkethly said.

    Cornetto maker Unilever's ice cream sales melt amid private label shift

    Unilever's store ice cream brands, which include Ben & Jerry's and Magnum, are losing market share to supermarket own-brands as consumers seek cheaper alternatives after big price hikes for some of the world's top-selling labels. The British company, which sells Cornettos cones and Talenti tubs, on Thursday reported a 0.2% dip in overall quarterly sales volumes, but a more than 4% decline in ice cream volumes. Its ice cream prices rose 10.5% in the quarter, driving turnover of 1.7 billion euros ($1.9 billion).

    Unilever sales beat estimates even as price rises slow

    LONDON (Reuters) -Unilever smashed quarterly sales forecasts on Thursday as another big rise in prices from the maker of Dove soap and Ben & Jerry's ice cream triggered only a small dip in volumes, sending its shares up nearly 2% in early trade. The 10.7% increase in prices was, however, lower than in recent quarters, adding to signs inflationary pressures might be easing as input costs declined. Packaged goods companies have been hiking prices as they grapple with a surge in costs of everything from sunflower oil and shipping to packaging and grain.

    What every Zscaler investor needs to know about the stock

    We often talk about movers, how companies are performing in the stock market, but we don’t always know what these companies do. And more importantly, what do investors need to know? We go behind the ticker: Zscaler (ZS) is a fast growing competitor in the cyber security and enterprise space, with a market cap of about $17 billion. According to its website, “Zscaler anticipates, secures, and simplifies the experience of doing business for the world's most established companies.” So what is it? Who’s using Zscaler’s software and services? Well, the company protects consumer data for Charles Schwab (SCHW), it created work-from-home platforms for government entities like the City of Los Angeles, and built e-commerce infrastructure for giant consumer goods manufacturer, Unilever (UL). As Zscaler CEO, Jay Chaudhry explained to Yahoo Finance, "The world has to move to adapt new technologies, like Zero Trust. That's the real answer. Many companies are making progress, and many are behind." Headquartered in San Jose, California, Zscaler operates in 185 countries around the world, with a workforce of more than 2500 employees. It trades under the ticker symbol (ZS), with shares up 270% since its first day of trading in 2018.  Zscaler’s flagship product is the ‘Zero Trust Exchange,' a cloud platform that’s distributed across more than 150 data centers around the world. "The way Zscaler was designed, it was assumed that the user could be working from anywhere and applications could be in data center, in factory. It's all in the cloud, so it doesn't matter because in the Zero Trust architecture, we don't put users on the network. We connect them like a switchboard," says Chaudhry. Like many pandemic darlings, like Cisco (CSCO), Okta (OKTA) and Cloudlfare (NET), the shares peaked in 2021 and have fallen more than 40% over the last year. Despite a poor performance in the stock market, Zscaler’s revenue has grown steadily since the pandemic due to the rise of hybrid work and a widespread transition to the cloud.

    Unilever flags risk it may have to halt Russia operations

    Unilever said on Thursday "there is a risk" that it may have to stop doing business in Russia, and that it might have to take a loss or write down its assets there. The company, which employs over 3,000 people in Russia, in March became the first major European food company to stop imports and exports out of Russia after the country's invasion of Ukraine. The maker of Dove soap and Knorr soup said at the time it would not invest further in Russia and would also stop all media and advertising spending there, adding that its Ukrainian operations had also stopped.

    Unilever expects Chinese 'consumption boom' in wake of lockdowns

    Unilever said on Thursday it expects a "consumption boom" in China as lockdowns ease, flagging $1.5-$2 trillion in "excess household savings" it believes could boost its sales in the country and in Southeast Asia. In January, China's cabinet said it would boost imports and promote a consumption recovery to boost the economy. As Chinese consumers have limited options where they can invest their savings, with the housing market not a viable option, Unilever Chief Executive Alan Jope said: "We are expecting to see a little bit of a consumption boom in China."

    Unilever halts Hellmann’s mayonnaise supplies to S.Africa as costs bite

    Unilever has suspended sales of Hellmann's mayonnaise to South Africa, the company and major retailers confirmed on Wednesday, due to the high cost of importing the product from the United States. "Due to high inflationary import costs, we will regretfully be discontinuing Hellmann’s in South Africa until further notice," Hellmann’s South Africa business tweeted on Tuesday. A Unilever spokesperson told Reuters the pause was due to high raw material and shipping costs.
