Compass Group Share Price (CPG)

There we are

Yep , good trading update, great company I’ve held since 2016, adding and selling along the way , but always holding a core wedge. Looks like 33 doable short term then on to 37.Top keeper.

I dialled into the presentation by management, they were (as always) super bullish. In fairness they did raise the full year forecast :-

Raising 2026 underlying operating profit growth guidance from around 10% to above 11%

Driven by organic revenue growth of around 7%, around 2% profit growth from M&A and ongoing margin progression

The shares have been somewhat unloved of late. The analysts on the conference call were a bit sceptical about individual aspects of the growth so don't expect fireworks. It is a long term growth industry (above global GDP) and they are a well run company so I'm happy to hold my shares and if they fall it could be a buying opportunity for you. Don't worry about inflation; they have managed to pass it on for the last 20 years+ !

Good god. I’m getting out big style before this falls any further. The worst thing I ever did was invest in this company. The business model is severely flawed.

You're OK MT100 the shares are up about 2.25% as I write.
