Rating:66Neutral
Price Target:
5,099.00 p
▼(-1.56% Downside)
Action:DowngradedDate:03/07/26
The score is driven primarily by improved financial performance (notably profitability and lower leverage) and supportive valuation (moderate P/E and solid yield). These are tempered by weak technicals (below key moving averages with negative momentum) and earnings-call-flagged near-term pressures on cash flow, leverage, and 2026 margin/EPS visibility.
Positive Factors
Margin Expansion & Profitability
A meaningful step-up in 2025 margins demonstrates stronger pricing power, category mix and effectiveness of cost programs. Sustained margins support durable cash generation, fund brand investment and shareholder returns, and increase resilience versus cyclical volume swings.
Negative Factors
Cash Conversion Weakness
Weaker cash conversion despite higher reported earnings signals working-capital or timing pressures that can limit free cash available for capex, dividends and buybacks. If persistent, this constrains financial flexibility and raises execution risk for restructuring plans.

Reckitt Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Mar 05, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a predominantly positive operational picture driven by strong Emerging Markets growth, margin expansion, tangible returns to shareholders, successful innovation and early results from supply chain investments. However, meaningful near-term headwinds remain: a weak Europe and soft seasonal OTC, modest EPS growth (partly due to tax and FX), one-off impacts and stranded costs from the Essential Home divestment, and a temporary rise in leverage and fixed-cost pressure in 2026. Management is confident the Fuel for Growth program and continued investment will offset many of these pressures over time and deliver medium-term targets.Positive Updates
Core and Group Revenue Growth
Core Reckitt like-for-like net revenue grew 5.2% in 2025 (volume +1.5%, price/mix +3.7%); group net revenue increased 5.0%. Excluding seasonal OTC, Core Reckitt grew 7.0% year-on-year.
Negative Updates
Weakness in Europe
Europe net revenue declined 1.4% for the year with volumes down 3.1%; category growth slowed to broadly flat and promotional intensity increased, weighing on growth and shares in the region.

Company Guidance
Reckitt guided Core Reckitt like‑for‑like net revenue growth of 4–5% for 2026 (reiterating its medium‑term target) with Q1 expected below the full‑year pace; Mead Johnson Nutrition is expected to grow low single digits LFL in 2026 but to see a mid‑single‑digit revenue decline in Q1 (lapping a 2025 retailer inventory build). Group adjusted operating profit should largely offset stranded costs from the Essential Home divestment via the Fuel for Growth program (group adjusted operating profit margin exited 2025 at 24.9%); the Fuel for Growth envelope remains c. GBP1bn and Reckitt now expects to exit 2027 with a fixed cost base below 19% (group fixed costs were 19.4% in 2025). CapEx guidance for 2026 is around 4% of revenue (2025 CapEx was GBP592m); free cash flow was GBP1.7bn in 2025 (71% conversion) and is expected to be similar in 2026–27 while restructuring runs, then normalise after end‑2027; net debt/EBITDA closed 2025 at 1.6x (c.2x after the GBP1.6bn special dividend) and is expected to rise toward ~2.5x by H1 2026 before trending down. Capital return remains active (FY dividend proposed +5%, 2025 returns totaled GBP2.3bn including GBP900m buybacks and a GBP1.6bn special dividend); EPS will receive Vestacy‑related income (USD300m vendor loan note, 30% associate stake and ~GBP25m pretax services) and benefit from share consolidation/buybacks but faces a 2026 dilution headwind from the Essential Home divestment; tax guidance is around 27% and c.55% of FX/commodity exposures are hedged over a 12‑month horizon.Reckitt Financial Statement Overview
