Reckitt Benckiser Cuts 2026 Core Revenue Growth Guidance
After reporting Q3 core like-for-like net revenue growth of 3.3%, Reckitt lowered its 2026 growth outlook to 3.5%–4.5% from 4%–5%. It cited temporary manufacturing capacity constraints affecting Lysol production in North America; regional like-for-like revenue fell 1.3% in the quarter.
Reckitt Benckiser Group plc reported third-quarter 2026 results, with core business like-for-like net revenue growth of 3.3% and total group growth of 3.2%. The company lowered its annual like-for-like net revenue growth guidance for its core business from the previous range of 4%—5% to 3.5%—4.5%. Management attributed the guidance adjustment to temporary manufacturing capacity constraints affecting Lysol production in North America, which caused a 1.3% decline in regional like-for-like net revenue for the quarter. The company expects a rebound in North American performance in the fourth quarter as it resolves these manufacturing issues.
