Randstad Strong cost control, but not enough to compensate weak gross margin

Randstad's 3Q24 results show a significantly weaker gross margin than expected. The company once again demonstrates its strong cost control, though not enough to fully compensate. We adjusted our numbers down last week on the back of weak economic environment, though todays numbers still represent a mis. We reiterate our rating & TP, though note further short-term downside risk if the environment doesn't improve.
