Analysis

C=50, B=74, sentiment=0.30 — Unilever is the brand portfolio that runs on infrastructure, not affection. A stock return of 0.66% over 30 days confirms it: this is a business that exists in spreadsheets and supermarket aisles, rarely in conversations. Purpose-washing fatigue has hit the mothership harder than any individual brand.
