Unilever shares dip as food spin-off talk meets volume gains
Unilever PLC shares slipped early Wednesday in London, trimming some of the defensive gains from the prior session. Investors are balancing hopes for a simpler consumer-products setup with frustration over the food unit's slow separation. Unilever traded at 4,392.5p as data from the London Stock Exchange pointed to normal activity, with the price moving between 4,369p and 4,429p. The stock climbed 1.39% on Tuesday, ending at £44.54. The FTSE 100 slipped 0.09%. Turnover was less than half the 50-day average, according to the London Stock Exchange.
