0732 GMT - Rentokil Initial's outlook is in line with market expectations and will unlikely see material changes to consensus forecasts, RBC Capital Markets analysts Andrew Brooke and Karl Green say in a note. Although the pest-control group is seen on the right track, with first-quarter organic growth of 3.4% slightly ahead of analyst forecasts of 3%, the analysts note that the spring/summer period will be key proof of this. "Whilst the shares have performed well, we continue to see significant potential upside over time," the analysts say. Shares are up 0.4% at 503 pence and are up 51% over the past 12 months.(anthony.orunagoriainoff@dowjones.com)
