Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Rentokil Initial stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Rentokil agreed to sell its French workwear business to H.I.G. Capital for about €410 million (net proceeds of ~€370 million), a deal that will streamline operations and strengthen the balance sheet ahead of integration expenses (WSJ).
In H1 2025, free cash flow increased to $282 million—31.2% higher than in H1 2024—with adjusted free cash flow conversion at 93%, beating the 80% target, improving liquidity to support growth and reduce debt (Reuters).
Group organic revenue rose 1.6% in H1 2025, with International up 2.7% and North America strengthening to 1.1% (1.4% in Q2 versus 0.7% in Q1), indicating broad-based resilience and initial benefits from marketing and integration efforts (Reuters).
Adjusted operating profit fell 4.7% year-on-year in H1 2025, with group adjusted operating margin declining 120 basis points to 15.2%, showing margin pressure, particularly from weaker North American volumes and rising costs (Reuters).
Non-recurring and adjusting items reached $110 million in H1 2025, including a $79 million increase in reserves for termite damage claims, resulting in a 7.8% drop in adjusted profit before tax and highlighting uncertainty in pest control liabilities (Reuters).
Net debt as of 30 June 2025 increased to $4.22 billion, with net debt to adjusted EBITDA at 2.8x, limiting financial flexibility ahead of a $700 million term loan due in October 2025 and raising refinancing risk (Reuters).
