With growth kicking back in fears were clearly overdone and expect price to gradually climb from here back toward its old highs. Nice.

Big move up for RB, when the LSE hasn't opened a stock for a few minutes it's going to move big, waiting for that order book to fill up and get the liquidity there.

I'm equally surprised by the lack of comments.Probably because share price is so large. So not as 'exciting' as penny shares that are apparently about to hit the big time.But I don't mind it being under the radar.First bought at a little under £57 and subsequently topped up. It is doing nicely...

IMO brokers seem to changes in the share price rather than predicting it. This is one of my best performers this year as I bought in just after the profit warning. Initially it was more of a trade than a long term hold but I think it will end up as the latter given its defensive nature.

I'm always amazed at just how few comments there are on bb's with relatively safe large companies(whilst I accept they are boring they are good investments) - a high risk AIM tiddler will always get more...

money seems to be flowing back into 'safe'/defensive stocks like Reckitt and Glaxo currently ...

Just for fun on a slow wet day I looked at the RB. chart and a giant head and shoulders going back to 2016. If you believe in that chart formation it has a downside of about £47.50. I have never invested in RB. and missed a huge upside from 2005. Is this now getting close to a potential buying point ???

[mozy123] 24/4/2018 16:40

Long may it continue, i want more!

You're living in the past, consumer defensives are poison at the moment.

RB is a solid business and a Buy, especially at these prices. You don't realise the power of brands like Dettol, Durex and Strepsils. RB has been oversold and should easily ride up to £65 with no problems.

Market open..

On the broker note front, consumer goods giant Reckitt Benckiser was hit by a downgrade to 'market perform' at Raymond James

Perfect time to buy KMB, JNJ and RB. You always buy into weakness. KMB below $100 is a screaming buy and an instant 30% profit. KMB won't struggle to get back above $130 over the next year or so.

[spacecake] 20/4/2018 21:04

JnJ, KMB & P&G still heading south.

[asturius101] 20/4/2018 14:23

spacecake: i like to have my cake and eat it! lol

[essentialinvestor] 20/4/2018 13:34

Dip on the US open may be, as per ULVR yesterday.

More scaling back on estimates following today?,
still around 18x, ulvr on a more generous yield available for about 19x,
with arguably a significantly better product portfolio. Not sure I see the value in
RB., Others may see it differently.

[spacecake] 20/4/2018 12:39

The crystal ball is particularly clear today plus the moon is a waxing crescent phase :-) so let see !

[asturius101] 20/4/2018 12:28

lol are you sure abt that? huge upward momentum now

[spacecake] 20/4/2018 12:22

Come 3pm this will be on the banana slide again, good company but could be cheaper.

[mister md] 20/4/2018 11:41

well, happy to add while this share remains unloved.

[this_time_its_different] 20/4/2018 10:08

Reckitt below £55 is extremely cheap, you won't struggle to gain £10-£15 in a few months. Most resistance is after £70. It's an easy £15 buying it now.

[mister md] 20/4/2018 09:58

Seems rather cheap to me ...

[action] 20/4/2018 09:44

I bght some @ 5446.00 missed dip of 5255.

Baby Formula is a solid industry, there will always be new babies and they will need baby formula. My bigger worry is whether supermarket generics are outselling brand names, but right now, supermarket generics lack quality. Reckitt's products are all quality and their marketing is top notch, they did overpay for Mead and we are seeing the consequences now. Reckitt shareholders are not used to these kind of drops, something similar happened in 1998, so there is a lot of panic selling as well. The stock needs time to stabilise and forget 2017 ever happened.

[toffeeman] 20/4/2018 09:09

Unless Mead is going bad and they grossly overpaid
