recent buy - Unilever PLC (NYSE:UL)

bought UL on Friday. Unilever PLC (PLC) is a supplier of fast moving consumer goods. The two parent companies, Unilever N.V. (NV) and PLC, together with their group companies, operate as the Unilever Group (Unilever). Its products are grouped into four principal areas: Personal Care, Home Care, Foods and Refreshment. The Company's four product areas are: personal care, which includes sales of skincare and haircare products, deodorants and oral care products, foods, which includes sales of soups, bouillons, sauces, snacks, mayonnaise, salad dressings, margarines and spreads, refreshment, which includes sales of ice cream, tea-based beverages, weight-management products and nutritionally enhanced staples sold in developing markets and home care, which includes sales of home care products, such as laundry tablets, powders and liquids, soap bars and a range of cleaning products.

UL is a recession proof stock, fundamental is not bad.

- Dividend is 3.8%
- Payout ratio is 60%, acceptable.
- PE is 17, lower than most of peer
- Return of Equity is 39%, that's pretty strong
- Debt to Capital is 48%, seem ok.

I think UL has found short term bottom, definitely will hold it for long term.
