A well-expected double-digit print in Q2 (preview)

Key points:

Q2 sales growth should remain double-digit (+11% cFX), led by retail, with 40bps EBIT margin expansion seen in H1.

Expectations already appear fully priced in, while lower leverage to a Middle East recovery than peers supports our Hold.
