Why 1 Analyst Believes There's Downside Ahead for Unilever Stock

Not everyone has heard of consumer-goods conglomerate Unilever (NYSE: UL), but nearly everyone is familiar with at least one of its brands. Unilever has built a mighty empire, but its shares aren't poised to outperform the market -- at least according to AB Bernstein analyst Bruno Monteyne, who believes the stock will underperform the market, according to The Fly. Monteyne's case against Unilever has three components: 1) ongoing inflation, 2) pressure on consumers, and 3) stock market dynamics.
