Bulls Say

  • The Terminix acquisition bolsters Rentokil’s cost advantage from route density and offers higher margin potential after the integration.

  • Rentokil can continue to grow following the Terminix acquisition, as half of the industry comprises smaller businesses generating revenue of under $50 million.

  • Market drivers such as a greater awareness of public health following covid and rising urbanization provide tailwinds for durable organic growth.

Bears Say

  • As the industry consolidates, deal multiples could rise on the 40-50 acquisitions that Rentokil completes a year, harming return on invested capital.

  • Rentokil has struggled to integrate its Terminix acquisition, and continued issues with sales generation will diminish its route density advantage.

  • The hygiene and workwear businesses do not contribute to the cost advantage moat, weighing on ROICs.
