Wolters Kluwer/Good start to the year/BUY

Wolters Kluwer reported a 1Q24 trading update slightly ahead of our expectations. Overall organic revenue growth was inline with our estimates, and we see strong performance across the company's largest divisions Health and Tax & Accounting offset slightly lower-than-expected growth in Corporate Performance & ESG. We make minor adjustments to our estimates and keep our BUY and €170 target price.

Wolters Kluwer FIRST LOOK: Solid 1Q24 update; FY24 guidance reiterated

Wolters Kluwer reported a limit trading update highlighting some top line figures. WKL has a good start to the year despite some challenging environments and difficult comparables in some segments. FY24 guidance provided last quarter has been reiterated today. If WKL continues this strong growth trajectory, supported by solid margins, we believe our estimate are likely to end up too conservatively.
