Reckitt Benckiser Group's China Growth Drives Strong Results -- Market Talk

0741 GMT - Reckitt Benckiser Group's sales volume grew faster than expected on the strength of results in China, suggesting significant demand strength, RBC analysts James Edwardes Jones and Wassachon Udomsilpa write. Double-digit revenue growth in China drove an overall rebound in emerging markets despite a tax-related headwind in India that weighed on results, the analysts say. Overall, Reckitt's volumes were 70 basis points ahead of forecasts, the analysts say. The U.K. consumer-good group's Mead Johnson Nutrition business recovered better than expected, the analysts write. Reckitt's margins might not be sustainable, but the shares' valuation already reflects that risk and leaves room for the group to increase investment, the analysts add. Shares are up 0.8% at 59.18 pounds, and up 22% year to date. (william.gray@wsj.com)
