Reckitt Benckiser Share Discussion Threads

Now that Boots healthcare International products e.g. neurofen, clearasil, E45, strepsils- will be under the RB marketing umbrella I expect to see the shares move upwards towards the £20 region in time once the costs of restructuring are complete-within 6 months

Here we are now in 2007 and the share price has climbed through £26! With continued share buy back and growth a firm objective for the whole of RB's leading Core brands the share price will just keep going north. Just keep accumulating the shares the city loves RB. It continues to market its global products to strict marketing formulas which really work across all country markets.

1inamilion. Sorry mate that's it. This will now only go down, next stop 16.60.
You must try shorting, you can make money on the way down as well you know, I know it seems unnatural, but why not. Try and make it going up or down. Good luck and greetings.

got out today @ 17.70+. up a few quid. will wait for re-entry but my gut feeling says this will go higher before coming back down. :-) for now.

1inamillion. Short to-day from 17.75, hope I've got my timing right, we'll have to wait and see. Good luck and greetings.

Bertie, Sorry don't short so its doubly hard and must make sure i get the timing right. we'll see what next week brings.. Will get back in in the early 1600s if it drops further.

1inamilion. Barclays target you can ignore usual wishful thinking of analysts.
Changes are that Barclays holds big positions in RB, knowing these comedians they are more likely to offload them when the price is right. It looks like you got your timing spot on assuming you went short and than long again. My guess is that it might run up a little bit more although I doubt it, my feeling is that it might be a good idea to think shorting this one again. I am monitoring this one myself, feels a bit on the high side at the moment can easily see this one drop as much as 60 - 80 points next week, would'nt be surprised if it did.
Let you know next week. Greetings and good trading.

5Bertie thanks. this was also recently tipped by barclays with target of 2070. I got out late 1700s and back in 1688. up a bit and was thinking of selling again yesterday. See what next week brings. thanks for the advice and I think you maybe right.

1inamillion. Tricky share at the moment, you can forget £20 no matter what brokers and analysts say, this share is already bloody expensive. But if you trade this one the shareprice range is £16 to £18.50 for spreadbetting purposes if you can get your timing right you can make good money out of this one short or long. Have made decent money out of this one in the last few months.
Good luck and greetings.

Date: Tuesday 11 Oct 2005

LONDON (ShareCast) - Household products firm Reckitt Benckiser has been upgraded to 'buy' from 'hold' at Citigroup with a price target of 1,960p from 1,750p previously.

The comment comes after Reckitt's acquisition of Boots' over-the-counter medicines business and a further £300m buyback in 2006.

The broker warned that Reckitt is likely to face margin pressure in the second half but added that underlying margins will accelerate in the medium term.

Reckitt Benckiser ratings affirmed after Boots Healthcare buy

LONDON (AFX) - Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the A1/P-1 senior unsecured ratings of Reckitt Benckiser PLC and said the outlook remains stable following the announcement by the company that it is acquiring Boots Healthcare International from Boots Group PLC for 1.93 bln stg.

While noting that the acquisition price is materially higher than those paid in recent transactions in the over the counter (OTC) healthcare business, Moody's believes that the acquisition will primarily strengthen Reckitt's scale, franchise and growth potential in the OTC market.

J.P.Morgan are running around ramping everything in sight these days.
Are we near a market top.???

By the way not just them..... every broker in town seems to be upgrading this or that.

No position in RB. but if anyone caught the spikes up and down a very well done from me.

oooooohhhhhh!

what a lovely performance by RB today

[miata] 15/9/2005 08:50

I would expect it to continue to rise.

[a4] 15/9/2005 08:44

Very expensive stock, high p/e, with a low yeild. I expect it to fall back below £18

[oospore] 14/9/2005 22:45

momentum from the breakout. imo.

[a4] 14/9/2005 12:54

Why is it going up,?

[miata] 12/9/2005 17:37

RB up 3.1% today.

[jbomanji] 12/9/2005 16:44

FSA where are you. Somebody is manipulating this share?? I agree there is no logic in such a rise on poor volumes

[aposto] 12/9/2005 15:50

A large increase on no volumes. Brilliant!

[a4] 12/9/2005 15:40

Thanks for that, have added to my shorts, will continue to do so, was a bit worried that RB was a target.

[miata] 12/9/2005 13:31

Be long. Linked with BHI purchase.

[a4] 08/9/2005 16:40

Shorted the RB today. Heres hoping
