Bulls say / Bears say

Completed its largest-ever acquisition by buying Dutch food services company Vermaat Groep for €1.5 billion, enhancing its premium European offerings and market standing.
Raised its full-year underlying operating profit growth guidance to around 11% after achieving 8.6% third-quarter revenue growth, fueled by strong demand in North America and globally.
Reported a stronger-than-expected first-half underlying operating profit of $1.63 billion, up 11.6%, delivered 8.5% organic revenue growth, boosted free cash flow by 5.5%, and raised its interim dividend by 9.2%, all while maintaining its full-year forecast.
BNP Paribas Exane downgraded Compass to 'underperform' from 'outperform' in March, reducing its price target to 2,500p over concerns about client retention in the US healthcare segment.
Despite exceeding first-half profit expectations, Compass did not launch a new share buyback program—possibly disappointing investors looking for capital returns and signaling limited cash return capacity.
Shares are trading near the bottom of their 52-week range (2,344p–2,853p) and have dropped 3.98% year-to-date, suggesting weak investor sentiment.
