RTO: New Divisional Structure And Dividend Policy Will Support Further Upside

Analysts have trimmed their price targets on Rentokil Initial to reflect a lower estimated fair value of £5.94, with updated assumptions that include a slightly higher discount rate, more moderate revenue growth expectations, and a lower future P/E multiple, partly offset by firmer profit margin forecasts. What’s in the News for Rentokil Initial Rentokil Initial is formalising its operations into two Divisions: North America and International, to support its stated priorities of stronger customer focus, improved sales and operational execution, and a simpler business structure.
