-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场（RBC Capital Market）周二发布的一份报告指出，联合利华（UL）的股价似乎已经反映出市场对其计划分拆食品业务的担忧，同时，市场对未来增长的预期依然温和，近期激励计划的调整也表明公司内部对实现公开目标的信心有所下降。 报告称，计划中的交易可能会增加股东的复杂性，价值有限，并可能分散管理层的精力。即使专注于增长更快的品类，精简后的公司也可能保持大致相同的竞争地位。 报告还指出，联合利华新的薪酬结构允许员工在低于公司既定目标的增长率下也能获得奖金，这引发了人们对这些目标可信度的质疑。 报告称，市场预期已经反映出谨慎情绪，市场普遍预期接近公司指引的下限，而RBC自身的预测也低于该区间。 RBC表示，这些担忧目前似乎已基本反映在股价中，因此将联合利华的股票评级从“弱于大盘”上调至“与大盘持平”，目标价为42英镑（56.75美元）。
