1328 GMT - Unilever's new chief executive Fernando Fernandez is expected to accelerate the pace of change at the company and should focus on its deodorants portfolio as one of the main areas in order to capitalize on growth opportunities, Barclays analysts say. The consumer-goods company benefits from world-leading deodorant brands such as Rexona, Axe and Dove, and has further growth to achieve, particularly in Asia, they say. The company has already said that the Asian market is one of its biggest growth opportunities, the analysts add. The market size grew three times over the last 15 years, they say. Shares are up 0.4%, and 2% since the start of 2025. (michael.susin@wsj.com)
