Share buyback and earnings guidance strengthen shareholder return focus

Reckitt Benckiser completed a share buyback, repurchasing 68,710 ordinary shares from BNP Paribas SA on November 20, 2025, with the shares now held in treasury. The company also reaffirmed its earnings guidance for 2025 and expects Group like-for-like net revenue growth between 3% and 4%. These corporate actions reinforce the company’s ongoing commitment to shareholder returns.

Mixed momentum signals as resistance and support converge near highs

The Ichimoku Kijun on D1 provides dynamic support near GBX 5,873.00, while the MA-50 and the psychological level of GBX 5,900.00 form the next resistance zone. MACD signals strong buying momentum on both daily and weekly charts, but the ADX D1 remains neutral, suggesting the uptrend lacks strong conviction. RSI D1 at 49.90 and CCI D1 at -94.25 indicate mild downside pressure, while a strong buy signal is flagged by the Stoch RSI D1, despite intraday overbought readings. BBP D1 remains oversold, showing ongoing seller dominance for the wider session, in contrast to bullish momentum from other indicators. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral, offering no clear support for the prevailing move.

Bullish consolidation likely as key indicators minimize downside risk

For the coming week, RKT is expected to trade in the GBX 5,800.00 to GBX 6,000.00 range, in line with typical blue-chip volatility. The likelihood of further upside is very high (over 80%) with three out of four major weekly indicators (RSI, ADX, MACD, MA-50) supporting the bullish outlook, making significant downside less probable. The baseline scenario favors consolidation between GBX 5,800.00 and GBX 6,000.00, while a clear break above GBX 6,000.00 could open the way to higher resistance. In a bearish case, a drop below GBX 5,800.00 would test recent support at the Ichimoku Kijun or MA-20 around GBX 5,855.00.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Reckitt Benckiser showing clear technical strength above key moving averages but questions the conviction behind the move. He notes that corporate actions like buybacks and guidance reaffirm support for shareholders, yet mixed momentum signals and neutral ADX on D1 keep upside limited. Base case remains consolidation between GBX 5,800.00 and GBX 6,000.00 unless GBX 6,000.00 is clearly broken. "Until we see strong conviction above GBX 6,000.00, I remain cautious on lasting upside," says Kharitonov.

Previously it was noted that RKT was exhibiting bullish momentum and consolidating between key support and resistance levels. Last time, we reported that caution was advised amid mixed oscillator signals and sideways bias expected as upside breakout risk persisted for the asset.
