Here is what Tweedy, Browne has to say about Unilever N.V. (NYSE:UL) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:

“Portfolio activity slowed somewhat during the quarter as equity prices advanced. While there were a few new positions established, and a few sales, portfolio activity overall was quite modest compared to the rather brisk pace of the last two years. On the sell side, a number of holdings were sold or pared back, including Unilever (NYSE:UN), among others. The stock prices of these businesses had either reached our estimates of their underlying intrinsic values or had been compromised in some way by virtue of declines in our estimates of their underlying intrinsic values and future growth prospects. Or, they may have been sold or trimmed to make room for new additions, or to generate losses, which could be used to offset realized gains.”
