Edenred, the French company known for its Ticket Restaurant vouchers, has reported strong financial results for 2024, with a 12.2% increase in total revenue to €2.9 billion and a record net profit of €507 million. The company also announced a 10% increase in its dividend to €1.21 per share, reflecting its robust performance. However, Edenred's stock dropped by 5.5% due to concerns over a slowdown in growth during the fourth quarter of 2024 and a cautious 2025 revenue outlook, citing headwinds. The company plans to rationalize its portfolio of activities to address these challenges. Despite the headwinds, Edenred remains confident, targeting an EBITDA growth of at least 10% in 2025. Meanwhile, the CAC 40 index, where Edenred is listed, struggles for direction, with defense stocks performing well but companies like Edenred and Capgemini, whose stock fell 8%, facing investor scrutiny after their earnings reports.
