Hermes: Oddo raises guidance for Q3

As a result, the analyst has raised his Q3 forecasts (2-year growth to 30% from 25%), although has left his annual forecasts unchanged.
The proven strong performance of Europe and the US in Q3 has led the broker to raise its sales forecast from 2,114 million euros to 2,191 million euros to reflect a 2-year growth rate of 30% - compared with 25% previously - which is only slightly lower than the +33% published for Q2, it says.
