McBride
Article Abstract:
McBride faces competition in the market for washing powder, and this may not be reflected in the company's stock price. The company is producing detergent tablets to be test sold at some supermarkets, but its branded detergent competitors have large budgets for advertising. The company's operating profit has already been affected by the launch of Persil Tablets from Unilever. The company is seeking to cut costs, but also faces a squeeze from supermarkets.
