COMPASS : UBS raises its target price


December 04, 2024 at 10:00 am


UBS has reaffirmed its 'buy' recommendation on Compass Group, raising its target price from 2,475 pence to 3,090 pence, a new target that offers a 15% upside potential for the British catering group's shares.

At a time when the market is wondering when margins might return to their pre-Covid peak of 7.5%, we see room for long-term margins to reach 8%," explains the broker in his summary note.

Compass Group profits surge as working from home wanes

The world's biggest caterer has proposed a final dividend of 39.1 cents per share

Compass saw its underlying operating profits jump by 16.4% to $3bn last year

Compass Group is rewarding shareholders with a major dividend boost after revealing bumper profit growth for the last year.

Compass' underlying operating profits jumped by 16.4 per cent at constant currency levels to $3billion in the year ending September, with the firm citing a sustained recovery in workers returning to offices as a key market trend,

The world's biggest catering business has proposed a final dividend of 39.1 cents per share, giving it a full-year dividend of 59.1 cents per share, a 13.7 per cent increase on the previous year.

Compass achieved growth across all regions, especially its largest territory by sales, North America, where underlying revenues rose by 10.9 per cent to $28.6billion.

The London-based firm also told shareholders on Tuesday that it had benefited from higher attendance and consumer spending within its education and sports-focused operations.

European sales expanded significantly, surging by 15 per cent to nearly $10billion on an underlying basis thanks to double-digit percentage growth from industries such as education, and defence, offshore and remote.

Bumper result: Catering giant Compass Group saw its underlying operating profits jump by 16.4 per cent at constant currency levels to $3billion in the year ending September

Compass has this year bolstered its presence across the continent with two big acquisitions: Hoffmann in Germany, and Reading-based CH&CO, whose clients include Kew Gardens and the Royal Opera House.

It pulled out of five countries 0 Argentina, Angola, Brazil, China and the United Arab Emirates - and agreed to leave another four, mostly in Latin America.





Dominic Blakemore, chief executive of Compass, said: '2024 has been a year of strong operational and financial performance, with net new business growth accelerating in the second half as expected.

'The business continues to successfully capitalise on the dynamic market trends, using its proven competitive advantages to drive higher revenue and profit growth.'

However, Compass expects underlying operating profits to increase by only a 'high single-digit' percentage figure in 2025, driven by 'ongoing margin progression' and organic revenue rising by over 7.5 per cent.

Compass Group shares declined by 2.5 per cent to £25.88 on Tuesday morning, making them one of the FTSE 100 Index's top five fallers.

Adam Vettese, a market analyst at eToro, said the company's outlook was 'perhaps simply getting ahead of the narrative due to the high bar set'.

'The shares have dipped this morning but still sit at almost 20 per cent up for the year and might well represent a buying opportunity if they are to continue their longer-term trajectory.'

Compass operates many corporate workplace canteens and provides hospitality services to prominent sporting venues like Wimbledon and Chelsea Football Club.

It experienced a significant downturn in trade during the early part of the Covid-19 pandemic when employers encouraged their staff to work from home if possible, and sports teams often played matches behind closed doors.

Vettese added: 'Hybrid or remote workers being asked to come back to the office is clearly a hot topic at the moment with many not wanting to relinquish their flexibility.

'Compass Group, however, is a beneficiary of this movement - as the world's largest caterer, they operate many workplace canteens and welcome the volume back through the doors.'

The Board has proposed a final dividend of 39.1c which, including the interim dividend of 20.7c, gives a total dividend of 59.8c for 2024.

Compass update reassures with analysts eyeing growth 'sweet spot'

Last updated: 16:04 23 Jul 2024 BST, First published: 15:04 23 Jul 2024 BST
Compass Group PLC -

Compass Group PLC (LSE:CPG) reassured any investors who had been doubting the catering giant with quarterly results that ticked most boxes, with some analysts saying the company is now entering a "sweet spot".

Barclays analysts said expectations had been "low" going into the results today, after a recent warning by French rival Sodexo that sales were lower than expected.

But the 10.3% organic growth number, while down on the previous two periods, beat the consensus forecast of 9.5%, so was taken well by the market.

An update on full-year guidance was also a slight improvement, the Barclays team said, with the language changing to "underlying operating profit growth above 15%" on a constant-currency basis, compared to "towards 15% EBIT growth" previously.

The positive tone in management's comments on net new contracts, ​retention and signings momentum "is key", the Barclays analysts said, "as this has been a source of concern for the last few Qs".

At Jefferies, analysts said the better-than-expected growth in organic revenue growth was "driven by an appealing reacceleration in net new momentum and better-than-expected like-for-like volume".

Their view is that net new business is likely to remain healthy because industry bid pipelines remain elevated.

"Compass is entering a sweet spot as high net new business, EBITA margin recovery, and M&A tailwinds converge," the Jefferies analysts said.

"Our proprietary analysis of market size and share confirms that industry outsourcing momentum has doubled since Covid, large peers are gaining share, and growth could remain elevated for a decade.

"We believe Compass’s organic sales could be 50%+ above pre-COVID in FY26F, but the shares trade in the middle half of the historical valuation range."

Compass Group Raises Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance After 1st Half Profit Rose; Announces GBP750 Million Buyback
05/10/2023 | 07:35am BST


By Kyle Morris

Compass Group PLC said Wednesday that it is upgrading its guidance for fiscal 2023 after first-half pretax profit rose and that it plans an up to 750 million pounds ($946.6 million) share buyback program.

The U.K. catering contractor said pretax profit for the six months to March 31 was GBP831 million compared with GBP632 million for the same period the year before.

Underlying operating profit--which strips out exceptional and other one-off items--rose to GBP1.05 billion from GBP673 million.

Revenue increased to GBP15.66 billion from GBP11.50 billion.

Compass said it will start a share buyback program worth up to GBP750 million this year.

The company said it has upgraded its fiscal 2023 guidance to organic revenue growth of around 18%, from around 15%, and operating profit growth toward 30%, from above 20%.
