Unilever unveils best results for five years Analysts called the results "impressive," although the figures led to warnings from some leading stock watchers, including Harold Thompson of Deutsche Bank, that the company could become plagued by "over-confidence." Turnover was also helped by a strong contribution from the emerging markets although the company warned of slowing macro-economic conditions in certain markets such as China. Sales in emerging markets rose 11.9pc, now accounting for 56pc of Unilever's business.
