Haleon PLC stock: HLN slips on India leadership move as earnings loom

Haleon PLC stock: HLN slips on India leadership move as earnings loom

London, Jan 11, 2026, 09:53 GMT — Market closed Haleon PLC shares slipped 1.2% to 367.5 pence on Friday after the consumer health group named Kedar Lele to lead its India Subcontinent operations and join its senior leadership.

BlackRock’s 2026 playbook: AI still leads, but cash income fades and diversification returns

NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2026, 04:17 EST BlackRock sees the AI-driven bull market stretching into 2026 but advises moving away from broad “AI-only” plays toward more targeted investments and reliable income streams, according to recent media comments. Kristy Akullian, head of iShares investment strategy for the Americas at BlackRock, told Yahoo Finance on Jan. 9 that AI is “no longer the only game in town.” The message comes as investors begin the year holding significant cash reserves, just as policy rates decline. In a Jan. 7 outlook, BlackRock pointed out that money-market yields are already dropping and flagged this as

London, Jan 11, 2026, 09:45 GMT — Market closed. Experian (EXPN.L) shares climbed 2.1% on Friday, ending at 3,478 pence and outpacing gains in the FTSE 100 during a session cut short by the weekend closure of London markets.
