  • UK Investors Eye Defensive Stocks Like Unilever Amid Market Volatility
    May 24, 2026, 9:01 AM EDT. Global market volatility persists with conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East driving uncertainty and oil price swings. UK investors face fluctuating indices, with the FTSE 100 sliding below 10,000 points. Experts advise focusing on defensive stocks-firms with stable earnings, dividends, and demand in sectors like utilities and healthcare. Unilever (LSE: ULVR) exemplifies a defensive share, boasting 3.5% underlying sales growth in 2025, a 4% dividend yield, and a P/E ratio of 16.08. Despite risks tied to restructuring and competition, such stocks can help dampen portfolio volatility amid potential market downturns.
