Sam Dindol has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Rentokil Initial’s current situation. The company’s valuation appears reasonable, with a forecasted FY25E EV/EBITDA of 10.5x, which suggests that the market has already priced in the near-term challenges the company is facing.
Additionally, the impending retirement of CEO Andy Ransom and the recent turnover in key leadership positions, including the departure of the group CFO and the CEO of North America, contribute to the uncertainty. These leadership changes, coupled with recent difficulties in the North American market, suggest a period of transition for Rentokil, justifying a cautious approach with a Hold rating.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 7 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is neutral on the stock.
