0957 GMT - Haleon's third-quarter U.S. sales growth was fueled by e-commerce players including Amazon expanding inventories rather than by stronger consumer demand, Barclays analysts write. Restocking is likely to ease in the fourth quarter, leading to a 1.2% dip in U.S. revenue that will cloud the U.K. consumer-health group's 2026 outlook, the analysts say. Increased competition in U.S. vitamins, minerals and supplements led to lower pricing, the analysts write. Oral health products grew 6.9%, missing the 8% consensus, with Aquafresh and denture care particularly soft, the analysts add. Shares rise 2.5% at 353.50 pence. (william.gray@wsj.com)
