Rentokil Initial PLC reported Q1 revenue of $3.59 billion, beating analyst expectations, but its earnings per share (EPS) of $0.39 fell short of the predicted $0.66. The company faces slowing growth in its key North American pest control market, with revenue growth slowing to 2.4% in Q2 and weakness in residential customer leads. Due to these challenges, Rentokil has abandoned its goal of achieving a 20% operating margin in North America by 2027, shifting focus to investment and volume growth instead. Despite this, the company maintains its full-year profit forecast to meet market expectations.
