Compass Group Shares Dip Ahead of Key February Trading Update
Compass Group PLC (CPG.L) shares edged 0.8% lower in London trading as investors await the contract caterer's first-quarter update on February 5. The report will provide crucial insights into 2026 demand trends and organic growth across global markets.
Market participants are particularly focused on how wage inflation and pricing pressures may impact margins this year. The upcoming AGM and dividend calendar are keeping shareholder attention on cash Flow sustainability amid cautious market sentiment.
