0804 GMT - The Middle East is part of Henkel's fastest-growing region, and the Persil maker is traditionally vulnerable to commodity and energy prices, analysts at J.P. Morgan write in a note. Both of these factors make it unclear how much it will be affected by the conflict, the analysts say. Henkel said the war might weigh on business in 2026 when reporting 2025 results on Wednesday. The company also noted a soft start to the year, which could put pressure on its stock in addition to the impact of the war, the analysts say. (aimee.look@wsj.com)
