David Hayes has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest a positive outlook for Haleon PLC. The company’s third-quarter results showed a solid performance, with organic sales growth aligning with expectations at 3.4%, driven more by volume and mix than anticipated. This indicates a strong market position and operational efficiency, which are crucial for sustaining growth.
Furthermore, the company has shown a return to growth in the US market and improved momentum in emerging markets, with notable performances in India and China. Despite challenges in the nicotine replacement segment, North America exceeded expectations by returning to growth. The maintained guidance for the fiscal year and the mid-term outlook, along with a favorable forward price-to-earnings ratio, reinforce the potential for future earnings stability and growth, justifying the Buy rating.
