0750 GMT - Philips shares should react positively after the connected-care and personal-health units drove a fourth-quarter beat and midterm guidance implies upside to consensus, RBC Capital Markets analyst Natalia Webster writes. Fourth-quarter results are strong overall, resulting in full-year sales 1% above consensus, adjusted Ebita 5% above and adjusted EPS 7% above, RBC says. Importantly, the midpoint of the new 2026 guidance range for year-on-year sales growth and margin improvement implies around 5% upside to adjusted Ebita consensus, the bank says. Meanwhile, the company has provided midterm targets for mid-single-digit sales growth and margin improvement to midteens, also ahead of consensus for 2028, which is looking for 4% and 13.6% growth, respectively.
