Rentokil Initial Share Price (RTO)

RTO's big push last year was disinfection services, with people returning to offices they are now focusing on air filtration. I think that once again the management are showing they are on the ball with their strategies. There was an article in the NY Times on this which showed how effective these can be-
'A study in a Melbourne hospital recently showed that adding two portable air cleaners to a patient’s room eliminated 99 percent of aerosols in minutes, reportedly raising the protection level equal to about 30 air changes per hour'
They are a visible and easy thing for a business to do - it will be interesting to say what they have to say about this new strand to the business at their capital markets day.

Given the recent rise in share price, it is good to see the CFO only selling those performance awarded that he needed to, to cover tax.

Nice rise today on the back of the results. It does make you wonder why Aviva and Fidelity sold nearly a quarter of their holdings earlier in the year driving the price down. Still, their loss was my gain so I should not complain.

Look really good, especially the profit figures.
M&A looks strong, this was also mentioned in Rollins Q&A where they said it was to do with potential tax changes in the US which was generating opportunities.
France work wear etc was better than I had expected, this will help set it up for it's probable sale this year or next.

Surely it will be up today on these results? It is not like they had a bad year last year to make these results flatter.

Rollins results were good today so hopefully rto's will follow tomorrow.
