Unilever slides on emerging market slowdown Oct 1st 2013, 07:09 LONDON | Tue Oct 1, 2013 3:09am EDT LONDON (Reuters) - Shares in consumer goods company Unilever (ULVR.L) (UNc.AS) opened down 4 percent on Tuesday after the group warned that a slowdown in its emerging markets had accelerated in the third quarter. The group said in a statement after the market close on Monday that it now expected underlying sales growth of just 3 to 3.5 percent in the period. "In the light of the sharp slowdown in top line, we expect consensus to be cautious on margin expansion," analysts at JP Morgan said in a note to clients. "We continue to believe that Unilever's premium rating is unjustifiable in the wake of subpar top-line growth and lower visibility." Shares in Unilever were down 4 percent in early trading at 2340 pence.
