| 26.06.25 13:08:07 | Serena Williams has backed 14 unicorns so far. Now she’s adding a new role to prove hygiene and health can be big business |  |
| Ace move. Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion and four-time Olympic gold medalist, is doubling down on her next chapter of backing the kinds of founders often overlooked by traditional venture capital: women, people of color, and entrepreneurs solving critical challenges in underserved markets. Last week, the tennis legend and investor was named the first-ever entrepreneur-in-residence at Reckitt, the British consumer health giant behind brands like Lysol, Durex, and Enfamil. In this new role, Williams will help mentor and scale startups focused on hygiene, maternal care, and health equity—sectors that remain chronically underfunded despite rising demand. Women-led startups receive less than 3% of global venture funding despite research showing they consistently outperform male-led companies. “Bold, innovative ideas can solve some of the world’s most pressing healthcare challenges if given the right support to thrive,” Williams told me at Cannes Lions. “This includes mentorship, funding, and strong belief.” Her appointment coincides with the launch of Reckitt Catalyst, a £10 million initiative aimed at supporting up to 200 underrepresented founders by 2030. The goal is to improve access to health and hygiene for five million people through scalable, locally led solutions across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. For Williams, the partnership is both tactical and deeply aligned. “We realized we had the same thesis, [which is] that when you invest in women, when you invest in overlooked markets, the returns are there,” she said. “It’s not charity. It’s smart business.” Since stepping away from tennis, Williams has built one of the most successful venture investment track records among athlete-turned-investors. She launched Serena Ventures in 2014 with a focus on diverse founders, raising a $111 million inaugural fund. At the time, she entered a venture ecosystem where only 5% of VCs were Black, and an even smaller share were Black women. Before formally launching the fund, Williams said she had already backed about six unicorns. Today, she says her portfolio includes more than 14 billion-dollar companies and several decacorns. “I wanted to prove to myself that I could find the companies and that I had the connections to invest,” she said. “Now we’re scaling.” Serena Ventures has primarily invested in early-stage healthcare, fintech, and consumer technology companies. Through her new partnership with Reckitt, Williams is now doubling down on sectors that tend to be overlooked by Silicon Valley. “Hygiene is routinely overlooked in venture,” she said. “It’s not flashy. But it’s foundational, especially for women, mothers, and children. These are essential markets that drive real impact and real returns.” Story Continues Her role will combine mentorship with access to a network. Williams will advise Catalyst entrepreneurs while helping them expand their reach and credibility through strategic introductions. “At the end of the day, venture is about relationships,” she said. “A 30-minute conversation can unlock new partnerships or investment opportunities. I want to offer that access to founders who aren’t part of the usual power circles.” She has already started connecting Catalyst founders with companies in her existing portfolio. “When you give women an opportunity, we often work twice as hard because we’ve been underestimated from the start,” she said, adding, “This isn’t about taking anything away from male founders. It’s about expanding the pie.” Ruth Umoh ruth.umoh@fortune.com The Most Powerful Women Daily newsletter is Fortune’s daily briefing for and about the women leading the business world.

| 23.04.25 16:28:47 | FTSE 100 jumps amid global stock rally after Trump rows back on tariff threats | |
| The FTSE 100 (^FTSE) defied a gloomy economic survey and higher-than-expected public borrowing data to surge on Wednesday, after US President Donald Trump dialled back some of his trade war vows. London’s blue-chip index jumped 74.6 points to finish the day at 8,403, a 0.9% rise. Mr Trump said on Tuesday that sky-high trade tariffs on China will “come down substantially but it won’t be zero”. Meanwhile, he also softened his rhetoric on firing the head of the US Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, saying he has “no intention” of sacking the central banker. The row back comes days after the President called Mr Powell a “major loser” whose “termination cannot come fast enough”. His latest comments sparked a global stock market rally, with Germany’s Dax rising 3% and France’s Cac 40 rising 2.1%. Meanwhile, on Wall Street, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) was up 1.8% and the Dow Jones was ahead by 1.4% shortly after UK markets closed. Axel Rudolph, an analyst at trading platform IG, said: “Global stock indices regained all of Monday’s losses and rallied strongly as US President Trump assuaged investors’ concerns about the Fed’s independence by no longer wishing to fire its chair Jerome Powell. “Hopes of a potential de-escalation in the US-China trade war and better-than-expected earnings by the likes of Tesla and Boeing also helped improve sentiment. “The economic backdrop remains less than rosy though, with UK public borrowing costs coming in above forecasts, the German private sector falling back into contraction and euro area economic activity nearly stagnating.” Sterling was down 0.14% against the dollar at 1.3254 while it was 0.1% down against the euro at 1.1676. In company news, online retail company THG rejected a bid for its Myprotein business worth up to £600 million from a firm led by a former director. THG (THG.L), which also owns Cult Beauty, said it rebuffed a “largely unfunded” and “highly conditional” approach from Selkirk – a firm set up by two early backers of THG, including Iain McDonald, a previous non-executive director at the firm. The cash-and-shares proposal valued Myprotein at between £400 million and £600 million, according to THG. Shares in THG fell 1.2% on Wednesday. Meanwhile, household goods giant Reckitt (RKT.L) warned the sale of its Cillit Bang and Air Wick arm might be delayed by market conditions as it revealed revenues fell across the division. Reckitt – which put its essential home cleaning products business up for sale last summer as part of a major overhaul – said it was still aiming to sell the division this year but admitted that “market conditions may impact this timeframe”. Story Continues Shares in the group fell 5.7%. The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 (^FTSE) were Croda (CRDA.L), up 223p to 2947p, Antofagasta (ANTO.L), up 110p to 1675.5p, Standard Chartered (STAN.L), up 65p to 1087.5p, HSBC (HSBA.L), up 44.9p to 845.2p, and Babcock (BAB.L), up 40.5p to 789p. The biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 were Reckitt (RKT.L), down 282p to 4668p, Endeavour Mining (EDV.L), down 122p to 2038p, Fresnillo (FRES.L), down 54p to 985p, Severn Trent (SVT.L), down 79p to 2682p, and Vodafone (VOD.L), down 1.96p to 70.24p.

| 23.04.25 08:28:49 | Reckitt cautions over possible delay to sale of Cillit Bang arm amid market woes | |
| Household goods giant Reckitt has warned the sale of its Cillit Bang and Air Wick arm might be delayed by market conditions as it revealed revenues fell across the division. Reckitt – which put its essential home cleaning products business up for sale last summer as part of a major overhaul – said it was still aiming to sell the division this year, but admitted that “market conditions may impact this timeframe”. The group’s first quarter update showed like-for-like sales within the essential home business – which accounts for 13% of group net revenues – fell 7% to £482 million. Overall revenues at Reckitt grew by less than expected, up 1.1% in the quarter, with shares in the firm down by more than 4% in early trading on Wednesday. Deals worldwide are said to have been impacted by recent stock market turbulence amid uncertainty over global tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump and a mounting trade war between the US and China. In terms of the direct impact of tariffs on its business, Reckitt said it was “closely monitoring the evolving situation around global tariffs and the potential impacts on our supply chain and cost base”. But it said analysis so far signalled an “immaterial annualised impact” on the group’s cost of goods sold, which it is “confident in mitigating over the short to medium-term through a number of levers”. “These include our inflight manufacturing investments, such as the recent investment in our Wilson, North Carolina, manufacturing facility, our excellent brand equities with pricing power, and limited imports from China into the US,” the group said.

| 11.04.25 05:46:33 | Reckitt Benckiser Group (LON:RKT shareholders incur further losses as stock declines 9.7% this week, taking five-year losses to 10% |  |
| Ideally, your overall portfolio should beat the market average. But the main game is to find enough winners to more than offset the losers At this point some shareholders may be questioning their investment in Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (LON:RKT), since the last five years saw the share price fall 24%. And the share price decline continued over the last week, dropping some 9.7%. However, this move may have been influenced by the broader market, which fell 6.3% in that time. Given the past week has been tough on shareholders, let's investigate the fundamentals and see what we can learn. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. During five years of share price growth, Reckitt Benckiser Group moved from a loss to profitability. That would generally be considered a positive, so we are surprised to see the share price is down. Other metrics may better explain the share price move. We note that the dividend has remained healthy, so that wouldn't really explain the share price drop. While it's not completely obvious why the share price is down, a closer look at the company's history might help explain it. You can see how earnings and revenue have changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values).LSE:RKT Earnings and Revenue Growth April 11th 2025 We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. So it makes a lot of sense to check out what analysts think Reckitt Benckiser Group will earn in the future (free profit forecasts) . What About Dividends? It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. As it happens, Reckitt Benckiser Group's TSR for the last 5 years was -10%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! Story Continues A Different Perspective We're pleased to report that Reckitt Benckiser Group shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 18% over one year. That's including the dividend. That certainly beats the loss of about 2% per year over the last half decade. We generally put more weight on the long term performance over the short term, but the recent improvement could hint at a (positive) inflection point within the business. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Reckitt Benckiser Group better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 3 warning signs with Reckitt Benckiser Group , and understanding them should be part of your investment process. If you like to buy stocks alongside management, then you might just love this freelist of companies. (Hint: most of them are flying under the radar).

| 09.04.25 16:00:09 | Reckitt Benckiser Group (RBGLY) Upgraded to Strong Buy: Here's What You Should Know | |
| Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC (RBGLY) could be a solid choice for investors given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This upgrade is essentially a reflection of an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices. A company's changing earnings picture is at the core of the Zacks rating. The system tracks the Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus measure of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years. Since a changing earnings picture is a powerful factor influencing near-term stock price movements, the Zacks rating system is very useful for individual investors. They may find it difficult to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, as these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. Therefore, the Zacks rating upgrade for Reckitt Benckiser Group basically reflects positivity about its earnings outlook that could translate into buying pressure and an increase in its stock price. Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices The change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock. Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for Reckitt Benckiser Group imply an improvement in the company's underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher. Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions Empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, so it could be truly rewarding if such revisions are tracked for making an investment decision. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>. Story Continues Earnings Estimate Revisions for Reckitt Benckiser Group This company is expected to earn $0.90 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2025, which represents a year-over-year change of 1.1%. Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Reckitt Benckiser Group. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 3.4%. Bottom Line Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of 'buy' and 'sell' ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a 'Strong Buy' rating and the next 15% get a 'Buy' rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term. You can learn more about the Zacks Rank here >>> The upgrade of Reckitt Benckiser Group to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

| 28.03.25 16:00:03 | Are You Looking for a Top Momentum Pick? Why Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC (RBGLY) is a Great Choice | |
| Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the 'long' context, investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades. Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us. Below, we take a look at Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC (RBGLY), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of A. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score. It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period. You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>> Set to Beat the Market? Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for RBGLY that show why this company shows promise as a solid momentum pick. Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area. For RBGLY, shares are up 0.88% over the past week while the Zacks Soap and Cleaning Materials industry is up 0.88% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 0.15% compares favorably with the industry's 0.15% performance as well. While any stock can see its price increase, it takes a real winner to consistently beat the market. That is why looking at longer term price metrics -- such as performance over the past three months or year -- can be useful as well. Shares of Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC have increased 11.71% over the past quarter, and have gained 17.5% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved -4.38% and 9.82%, respectively. Story Continues Investors should also pay attention to RBGLY's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. RBGLY is currently averaging 391,230 shares for the last 20 days. Earnings Outlook The Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with RBGLY. Over the past two months, 3 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost RBGLY's consensus estimate, increasing from $0.85 to $0.90 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 2 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period. Bottom Line Given these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that RBGLY is a #2 (Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of A. If you're looking for a fresh pick that's set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC on your short list.

In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of Reckitt Benckiser Group. View our latest analysis for Reckitt Benckiser Group LSE:RKT Ownership Breakdown March 25th 2025 What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Reckitt Benckiser Group? Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. Reckitt Benckiser Group already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Reckitt Benckiser Group's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.LSE:RKT Earnings and Revenue Growth March 25th 2025 Institutional investors own over 50% of the company, so together than can probably strongly influence board decisions.

Insider Ownership Of Reckitt Benckiser Group The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it. Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. Our data suggests that insiders own under 1% of Reckitt Benckiser Group plc in their own names. Being so large, we would not expect insiders to own a large proportion of the stock. Collectively, they own UK£3.2m of stock. It is good to see board members owning shares, but it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying. General Public Ownership The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 15% stake in Reckitt Benckiser Group. While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies.
