Rexel falls on bigger-than-expected outlook cut
** Shares in Rexel RXL.PA fall 6.3% after it cut its 2024 outlook due to negative trading environment in Europe
** The French distributor of electrical supplies now anticipates full-year sales between -2.5% and -2.0% on same-day basis with an adjusted EBITA margin of approximately 5.9%
** "The extent of the guidance cut exceeded expectations", J.P. Morgan says in a note
** Rexel says it faces a more difficult macroeconomic environment in Europe and further deterioration of electrification categories, especially solar during summer
** J.P. Morgan expects its growth to underperform the sector as Rexel has limited exposure to the data center and grid and utility markets, which should off-set market's weaknesses
** Shares are on track for their worst day since July 30
