Reckitt Benckiser Group plc Stock (RKT): Buyback Momentum, Analyst Forecasts, and What Investors Are Watching on 15 December 2025

Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (LSE: RKT) has become one of those “quietly loud” UK large-caps: the underlying business (consumer health and hygiene) is designed to be steady, but the equity story in 2025 has been anything but boring. A multi-year reshaping plan, an ongoing £1 billion buyback, an end-of-year divestment deadline, and fresh analyst calls are all colliding as the market heads into the final stretch of 2025. On 15 December 2025, Reckitt shares were trading around 5,972p (about £59.72), down 0.47% on the session on delayed pricing. London South East Below is a detailed look at the latest news

Unilever PLC Stock (ULVR): Price, Forecasts and Latest Analyst Calls as of December 15, 2025

Unilever PLC Stock (ULVR): Price, Forecasts and Latest Analyst Calls as of December 15, 2025

Unilever PLC stock is starting the week with investors still digesting one of the biggest portfolio moves in the group’s modern history: the ice cream separation that created The Magnum Ice Cream Company as a newly listed standalone business. While the demerger removes a notoriously complex cold-chain operation from Unilever’s day-to-day mix, it also strips out a familiar earnings stream—so the market’s attention has snapped to a simpler question: can “new Unilever” deliver faster growth and higher margins in beauty, personal care and wellbeing? As of December 15, 2025 (08:01 GMT), Unilever shares (ULVR) were trading at 4,844 GBp, up

HSBC Holdings Plc Stock: Hang Seng Bank Buyout Vote Nears, Dividend Signals, and Analyst Forecasts (Dec. 15, 2025)

HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA.L / 0005.HK / HSBC) heads into mid-December with a very “HSBC” mix of catalysts: a large, Asia-centric acquisition moving closer to a shareholder vote, upgraded profitability guidance from management, and fresh consensus estimates that map what the sell side thinks the bank can deliver through 2027. The headline on December 15 is simple: the proposed take-private of Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Bank is advancing through its formal process—important because the deal is big enough to shape how investors think about capital returns, risk exposure to Hong Kong and mainland China property, and HSBC’s strategic pivot under

Rio Tinto plc Stock News and Forecast (RIO): What to Watch on 15 December 2025

Rio Tinto plc Stock News and Forecast (RIO): What to Watch on 15 December 2025

Rio Tinto plc stock is starting the week in a classic miner’s tug‑of‑war: commodity prices are swinging, China data is flashing “demand anxiety,” and the company itself is in the middle of a newly announced strategy reset that investors are still digesting. On Monday, 15 December 2025, Australian equities slid and big miners were among the main drags, with Rio Tinto down around the low‑single digits in early trade as copper dropped sharply and iron ore softened. News.com.au At the same time, broader risk sentiment across Asia has been cautious ahead of major central bank meetings and fresh macro data,

UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Set to Open Higher as Bank of England Rate Cut Looms (15 December 2025)

London’s stock market begins the new week with a familiar late‑2025 mix: a tentative bounce in futures, heavy macro catalysts on the calendar, and a global risk backdrop still unsettled by tech volatility and China demand worries. Early indications suggest the FTSE 100 will try to recover some lost ground after finishing last week lower, but investors are unlikely to place big bets ahead of a potential Bank of England (BoE) rate cut and a packed run of UK data releases that could reshape expectations for 2026.
