Company outlook confirmed
Share price after the results: −1.7%No new earnings outlook: inflation is at the higher end of 4% to 5%, around 6% in Q4, with cost savings expected to offset it over the full year.
“Just to give you some texture, we did see inflation roughly within the range, maybe a touch lower than we expected in Q1, but at the low end of our range, around 4%, which if I look forward and take into account sort of our hedge positions, I would expect Q1, Q2, Q3 to be roughly similar and Q4 to be just a touch …”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
