Randstad - Gross margin under pressure

•    The Q1-24 adjusted EBITA missed by a few million due to gross margin pressure, for instance due to a declining perm/RPO fee business.•    Challenging conditions continued in April and the guidance for Q2-24 means that consensus needs to come down further. •    We stick to Reduce and lower our TP from EUR 45 to EUR 43 on the back of an expected decline in our EBITA estimates by mid-single digits.
