Unilever plc (ADR) (NYSE:UL)

Best. Euro stock. EVER.

Love this company so much: excellent gains in the past couple years I've owned it (despite tons of negative financials in Europe) AND has a steady and strong dividend to boot. Besides the fact that you see their staple products all around the world, from deodorant to peanut butter, this is definitely a "forever" stock you should keep in your portfolio.

Large international diversified company owning many world-wide brands.

As a college aged male, I can assure you the consumer products Unilever makes are much more attractive than proctor and gambles.

Unilever PLC (NYSE: UL) is one of the picks from Europe. The consumer goods giant is a mega-cap and its share price of $38.70 compares to a 52-week range of $30.85 to $39.03. This ADR has a 3.3% dividend yield. We would caution that the analysts covering this ADR have a consensus price target that is just under $38.00 here.

Emerging mkts, dividend, zacks #1

It is a well structure company, with huge success on the emerging markets, buying big companies and with an excellent marketing foundation, I believe cutting edge

Great supply chain management, well positioned to handle what could be constraints in the food supply in the coming years.

Owns many household and food brand names. Earns incredible returns on capital with not much debt, and is reasonably priced.

solid products.global, e.m. make this pick better and sweeter

Stable long term, defensive sector.

A reliable earner, it survived the sell off, so in the short term I think the index will beat it.

Famous maker of products ranging from deodorant and soap, to tea and cooking oil, Unilever is one of those companies we never realize how heavily we depend on in our day-to-day lives. This said, it has done well in weathering this economic downturn, and still remains true to investors with a healthy dividend. Yay for the likes of Degree, Lipton and Dove! :P

Products that sell.

Company with global growth opportunities and huge brand names. Also like it for the dividends.

It will drop a little but has good dividend. Won't come up until investor confidence returns.

As long as there are more and more consumers being created by globalization, it's a good idea to be bullish on unsexy consumable goods produced and/or marketed by solid companies.

Have had Unilever in my portfolio for some time now and it is performing very well. I believe it will continue to do so.
