Traders face the usual questions—can volumes stay resilient as pricing softens, and what margins can the group defend while still backing brands like Sensodyne, Advil and Centrum?

Still, the update isn’t without risk. Softer guidance, delays on efficiency goals, or hints that customers are opting for cheaper options could all weigh on a stock that’s already seen a sharp run-up in the last year.

  • Building Passive Income with Stocks and Shares ISA: Lump Sum vs Contributions
    May 30, 2026, 2:32 AM EDT. Passive income from a Stocks and Shares ISA is often linked to large initial investments, but consistency also plays a key role. A model starting with a £40,000 lump sum and increasing yearly contributions hitting £7,700 by year 20 shows that while early capital compounds faster, ongoing contributions increasingly drive wealth growth. Using a 4% return assumption, wealth creation shifts over 20 years from initial capital dominance to steady investments. The main takeaway: passive income isn't exclusive to wealthy investors. Time, regular investing, and compounding power combined build substantial returns. This gradual wealth accumulation aligns with steady, subscription-based businesses like RELX (LSE: REL), known for recurring revenues and stable customer bases.
