Deutsche Numis upgrades RS Group from hold to buy — shares rise
RS Group’s shares rose 3.3% to 600.5 pence after Deutsche Numis raised its rating from "Hold" to "Buy". The upgrade was justified by improving conditions in manufacturing, easing tensions in the Middle East and positive PMI trends. Based on historical correlations and PMI data, Deutsche Numis sees like-for-like revenue growth of around 4% for fiscal 2027 and expects benefits from easier comparatives after operational problems in the previous year. » More on de.investing.com
Deutsche Bank cuts RS Group to hold and lowers price target to 700p
Deutsche Bank downgraded RS Group from buy to hold and cut its price target from 800p to 700p after a disappointing March pre-close update showing weaker second-half like‑for‑like growth and regional weakness in Mexico. The bank cited concerns that the conflict in Iran could delay or temper the industrial recovery that underpinned its prior thesis. RS shares fell almost 3% on the downgrade and were trading at 571.5p, down 8% year‑to‑date. » More on finance.yahoo.com
