Haleon stock (ISIN GB00BMX86B70) was trading at GBp 342.00 on the London Stock Exchange on September 25, 2026, down 0.81 percent. The next scheduled company checkpoint is the Q3 2026 trading statement on October 29, 2026, according to Haleon.

First-half growth reached 2.6 percent

Haleon's first-half 2026 organic revenue increased 2.6 percent, while second-quarter organic revenue rose 3.1 percent. The sequential improvement gives the current trading picture a measurable lift, but it remains below the company's medium-term 4 percent to 6 percent annual organic revenue ambition.

Equibles reported that H1 adjusted operating profit grew 8.2 percent at constant currency and that free cash flow reached GBP 769 million. Adjusted operating margin increased 120 basis points at constant currency to 24.3 percent, adding a profitability counterweight to the modest organic revenue rate.

Jefferies lowers its target

Jefferies lowered its Haleon price target from GBp 410 to GBp 400 in a September 23, 2026 note while retaining a Buy rating, as AskTraders reported. The revised target is GBp 58 above the September 25 market price, a gap of 16.96 percent based on the two quoted levels.

The same report identified softer European demand, a gradual improvement in the United States and a fragile respiratory recovery as issues affecting the outlook. Those factors matter because Haleon's 2026 guidance calls for 3 percent to 5 percent organic revenue growth and high-single-digit adjusted operating profit growth at constant currency.

Stock remains below the target

Haleon shares were trading at GBp 342.00 on September 25, 2026, with the daily move at minus 0.81 percent on the London Stock Exchange. The combination of 2.6 percent first-half organic revenue growth, 8.2 percent adjusted operating profit growth and a reduced GBp 400 target leaves execution against the October 29 update as the next measurable checkpoint.
