What the Analysts think about Rentokil Initial
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Rentokil Initial stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Selling the France workwear business to H.I.G. Capital for an enterprise value of €410 million (net proceeds about €370 million) will streamline the company around core pest control and hygiene offerings, and enhance the balance sheet.
Free cash flow for H1 2025 climbed 31% to $282 million with a 93% conversion rate versus 80% guidance, driven by better working capital and disciplined capex—supporting debt reduction and potential M&A.
Organic growth momentum in North America has improved: Q2 organic growth rose to 1.4% from 0.7% in Q1, and residential and termite leads increased 6.6% in June, signaling a possible early U.S. turnaround.
H1 2025 adjusted operating profit dropped 4.5% to $511 million and the adjusted operating margin shrank by 120 basis points to 15.2%, reflecting continued margin pressure.
The $6.7 billion Terminix acquisition continues to weigh on North American results, with Q1 U.S. sales rising just 0.5% and integration delays proving expensive and holding back growth.
Net debt rose to $4.22 billion (2.8× adjusted EBITDA) at end-H1 2025, limiting strategic options and highlighting dependence on debt financing.
