Questions About This Episode

What is Unilever’s $45bn deal, Berkeley & tech: Companies and Markets Show about?

We begin the show with consumer goods giant Unilever (ULVR) – soon to be somewhat smaller, given the $45bn spin-off of its foods business to US spice and sauce maker McCormick (MKC). The reaction to the news, though, has been distinctly underwhelming. Erin Withey examines what it means for Unilever’s future. Then we turn to Berkeley (BKG) , the housebuilder, which, this week, published an unscheduled negative update, less than three weeks after it told investors everything was fine. Hugh Moorhead explores what the company’s retrenchment says about the UK’s wider housebuilding goals. Lastly, we discuss what is perhaps the UK’s very own meme stock – microcomputer maker Raspberry Pi (RPI). Its shares rose almost 50 per cent in one day following its full-year results. Arthur Sants explains how the company ended up part of the AI boom and whether there’s a decent business underneath it all.
