1015 GMT - Rentokil Initial 2027 margin guidance might be too ambitious, J.P Morgan analysts say in a research note. Investors of the pest-control, hygiene and work-wear services provider are expected to be relieved that 2025 consensus expectations have been confirmed, the analysts say. The company should be able to achieve the margins guidance over time. However, the timeline for the 20% increase in North America might be difficult to reach, unless growth surprises materially on the upside, they say. Shares trade 3.4% lower at 674.80 pence.
