Compass Group PLC (LSE:CPG) has raised its profit outlook for fiscal year 2025, supported by strong organic growth and outperformance in its mergers and acquisitions strategy. The company reported 8.6% organic revenue growth for the third quarter, with particularly strong momentum in its North American operations.
Further strengthening its market position, Compass has announced the planned acquisition of Vermaat Groep B.V., a leading premium food services company based in Europe. The deal, valued at approximately €1.5 billion, is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to significantly enhance Compass’s European footprint and reinforce its position in the high-end segment of the food services market.
The company’s robust financial performance and strategic developments are key drivers of its positive investment profile. While technical indicators offer a mixed outlook, they have not significantly weakened investor sentiment. Compass’s high valuation relative to peers suggests it may offer more potential for long-term growth than immediate short-term returns.
