1415 GMT - L'Oreal looks set to accelerate growth, helped by its own initiatives, RBC Capital Markets analysts Wassachon Udomsilpa and James Edwardes Jones write in a note to clients. The French beauty giant launched last year a strategy to boost innovation, accelerate product launches, and increase sales. The plan also strengthened the group's market leadership, the analysts say. With the innovation pipeline continuing into 2026, L'Oreal should be able to accelerate its sales growth further to over 5%, they say. This would be ahead of its listed beauty peers, the analysts add. RBC Capital Markets reiterates its outperform rating on the stock. Shares are up 3.6% at 385.65 euros. (andrea.figueras@wsj.com)
