Intertek: UBS reiterates buy recommendation
(CercleFinance.com) - The analyst believes that the consumer recovery is showing substantial improvement.
It confirms its Buy recommendation, with a target price of 5900 pence, representing 25% upside potential.
Organic growth of +7.0% y-o-y between January and April 2024 was ahead of expectations, thanks to the acceleration in consumer spending to over 6%. Increased growth momentum offsets negative currency effects, UBS says.
Intertek has reiterated its annual guidance of mid-single-digit organic growth and margin improvement. The inspection and certification services group reported revenues of £1.08bn for the first four months of 2024.
