Rentokil Initial
Article Abstract:
Rentokil Initial has suffered a drop in its stock price after an announcement that profit growth would be lower than expected. There is concern about the company's sales growth, with three divisions of a total of six reporting sales falling off. The company acquired BET in 1996, and has benefited from improved management of activities contributed by BET, as well as benefits resulting from integration, but these benefits may nearly all have been captured.
