Deutsche Bank has raised its price target for Mitie Group PLC from GBP1.65 to GBP1.70, maintaining a Buy rating, citing the strategic acquisition of Marlowe as having 'compelling industrial logic' due to exposure to the facilities compliance market. The bank highlights the market's fragmentation, non-discretionary nature, and accretive impact on margins, with updated forecasts projecting over 14% EPS CAGR through 2031. Despite a slightly more cautious view on Marlowe's profit forecasts and a conservative revision of the £30 million cost synergy target, the acquisition is seen as offering strong medium to long-term potential. Jefferies downgraded Mitie Group from Buy to Hold, setting a new price target of GBP1.45, reflecting concerns over the acquisition's impact on the company's investment strategy and a shift from its previous growth trajectory.
