Reuters VideosUnilever, Henkel eye bids for Coty's brands
Just a few days after saying it'll buy reality TV star Kylie Jenner's beauty brands, Coty is seeing buying interest in some of its own brands. Sources tell Reuters European consumer goods giants Unilever and Henkel and buyout funds are exploring bids for some of Coty's top beauty brands, and a deal could be worth up to $7 billion. Coty, the old-line cosmetics maker, has struggled to integrate about 40 beauty brands, including Covergirl and Max Factor that it bought from Procter & Gamble. Faced with weak sales, it's expected to start an auction process in December. Coty also owns professional hair and nail care brands like Wella and Clairol. Sources say Colgate-Palmolive is interested in that part of Coty's portfolio. Coty, Henkel and Colgate-Palmolive declined to comment. Unilever was not immediately available for comment. Shares of Coty fell 2% in early trading Friday.

PRESS DIGEST- Financial Times - Oct 25
Britain Prime Minister Boris Johnson has conceded defeat on his promise to take the UK out of the EU by Oct. 31 and challenged MPs to give him a general election on Dec. 12, arguing that a "broken parliament" was responsible for the Brexit deadlock. The head of the UK's financial regulator Andrew Bailey has acknowledged that the watchdog deserved criticism in the wake of recent personal finance scandals, but defended his conduct by pointing out that money will always be lost where risk exists.

Henkel cuts outlook after weakest quarterly sales in decade
Henkel lowered its full-year outlook on Tuesday after posting its first fall in sales in a decade as the popularity of its beauty products waned and weaker industrial production hit its adhesives business. The maker of Schwarzkopf shampoo, Persil detergent, Dial soap and Loctite glue said second-quarter sales fell by a like-for-like 0.4% to 5.121 billion euros ($5.73 billion), the weakest since the third quarter of 2009, while earnings per share dropped 9.5% to 1.43 euros - both below average analyst forecasts. Analysts have suggested Henkel should consider selling or spinning off its struggling beauty business but the founding family that owns the majority of shares is seen as unlikely to take such a radical step.

UPDATE 4-Henkel cuts outlook on weakest sales momentum in a decade

Analysts have suggested Henkel should consider selling or spinning off its struggling beauty business but the founding family, which owns around 60 percent of the company's voting shares, is seen as unlikely to take such a radical step.
