Company Report

Haleon Fends Off Headwinds and Reaps Benefits From New Launches and Marketing Campaigns

Haleon is one of the largest consumer healthcare companies in the world. Over the last few years, Haleon has achieved a more rationalized operation by divesting multiple non-strategic brands, slimming down its manufacturing footprint, and dialing back the number of warehouses and distribution centers. We appreciate the company’s efforts to optimize its business and believe it is well established to enjoy long-term industry trends, including an aging population, premiumization of consumer healthcare products, and growing emerging markets, that should fuel its top line.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

We expect Haleon, with financial and operational independence, to bolster its portfolio through product innovation and tuck-in acquisitions and expand the strong foothold it has in the consumer self-care industry.

Bears

Personalization of health paves way for smaller niche players to carve out their shares of the market with bespoke offerings and Haleon will have a tough time fighting for these areas given the difficulty to cater to these consumers with their megabrands.

Company Profile

Haleon is one of the largest consumer health companies in the world.

It also has a number of local brands, including Emergen-C, Eno, Tums, and Caltrate, that are more tailored to regional needs and have strong local brand equity. Overall, Haleon’s brands tackle a variety of silos within consumer health including oral care, digestive health, pain relief, and nutrition.
