Reckitt (RKT): news on Saturday 14 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Saturday morning, 14 November 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Most items covered Dettol's new foaming handwash in India, the purchase of Reckitt's Russian assets by Arnest and a stable share price. A report doubting whether pricey treatments for colds and flu beat cheap painkillers was a slight negative.
What drove it
- Dettol handwash launch
- Russian asset sale
- share price stability
