Reckitt Benckiser (RB/ LN, BUY, T/P 9000p) - Doing the Right Thing

Reckitt Benckiser (RB/ LN, BUY, T/P 9000p) appears due to show quarter of slow organic sales growth when it releases its Q3 trading statement numbers on Wednesday this week. More importantly, a Sunday Times (15th October 2017) article reports Reckitt Benckiser as a front-runner to acquire Pfizer’s (PFE US, N/R) consumer health business. In our view, consumer health M&A remains central to the BUY case for Reckitt Benckiser.
