1.b. Last Insights on HLN

Haleon PLC faced negative drivers in recent months. A downgrade by Barclays from "overweight" to "equal weight" and a lowered price target from 430p to 380p impacted the stock. The broker cited concerns in Haleon's largest market. Additionally, the company lowered its annual organic revenue growth forecast to 3.5% due to weaker performance in the US. Despite a solid Q2 performance, with organic revenue growth ahead of expectations, these factors contributed to the stock's decline.
