Pet Care Price Increases Lift Unicharm’s Profits, but China’s Slowdown May Cap Profit Growth
Narrow-moat-rated Unicharm missed its profit guidance as we had expected. The core business profit was largely in line with our expectation which was 6% below its guidance and 4% below the Bloomberg consensus. The results echo two concerns that we have raised: challenging targets of price hike benefits and slowing feminine care premiumization in China.
