Bulls say / Bears say
Reckitt's like-for-like net sales grew 7% in the third quarter, with a 15.5% jump in emerging markets highlighting strong demand in those regions. (Reuters)
In the second quarter of 2025, Reckitt’s core brands posted 5.3% revenue growth, beating analyst estimates and prompting the company to raise its full-year like-for-like net revenue growth forecast to 3%–4%. (WSJ)
Selling a majority stake in Essential Home for $4.8 billion enabled a $2.2 billion special dividend and a £1 billion share buyback, allowing Reckitt to focus more on its higher-margin Powerbrands. (Reuters)
Reckitt warned that market volatility may delay the planned sale of its Essential Home division, where first-quarter revenues fell 7%, casting doubt on transaction timing. (FT)
Total net revenue in the second quarter of 2025 declined by 3.8%, as weaknesses in non-core businesses such as Mead Johnson and Essential Home offset the gains from core brands. (WSJ)
Analysts criticized the valuation for the Essential Home sale as disappointing, suggesting it missed expectations by up to £1 billion and that keeping a 30% stake prevents a clear strategic exit. (FT)
