Proactive Investors - Contract caterer Compass Group (LON:CPG) has come storming back following the end of the pandemic and as people have returned to offices, gyms, hospitality venues and other workspaces.
Organic growth from the FTSE 100-listed group hit 24% in the three months to end December and more of the same is expected when it updates this coming Wednesday.
Companies now effectively ordering staff back to the office can only help with the group also saying it was having no issues passing through inflation on food and other input costs.
"We expect operating profit growth above 20% on a constant currency basis, organic revenue growth of around 15%, weighted towards the first half of the year, and an underlying operating margin above 6.5%,” it said in December.
Shares recently hit a new five-year high at 2,109p, suggesting some in the market expect Compass to do better even than that.
