The Reckitt outlook for 2026 revenue growth has been lowered after temporary supply constraints affecting Lysol disinfectant products. On October 27, 2026, Reckitt Benckiser said it expected core business revenue growth of 3.5% to 4.5% for the year, down from its July forecast of 4% to 5%.
Key Takeaways
- Core business revenue rose 3.3% year over year to £2.69 billion in the third quarter.
- North American net revenue fell 1.3%, although Reckitt expects a recovery as supply issues are resolved in the fourth quarter.
Reckitt outlook lowered for 2026
The revised forecast lowers both ends of the company’s previous annual growth range. Reckitt attributed the change primarily to temporary constraints on supplies of Lysol, one of its hygiene brands.
The 3.5% to 4.5% range is a full-year projection, not a completed result. The earlier forecast of 4% to 5% was issued in July.
Third-quarter growth and North American sales
Reckitt’s core business generated £2.69 billion in third-quarter revenue, approximately $3.59 billion, representing growth of 3.3% from a year earlier.
The company also reported a 1.3% decline in North American net revenue. It expects the region to recover as the supply issues are resolved in the fourth quarter, though that recovery remains an expectation rather than a reported result.
