** "Although details around the group's new mid-term strategy remain limited, the moves towards greater portfolio diversification, a bigger EM focus and new cognac launches in the US are likely to be viewed supportively," says Citi
** Remy targets a return to growth and an additional €100 million ($116 million) in operating profit by 2028/29
** Strategy includes doubling sales in travel retail and emerging markets, and launching a new Remy Martin innovation in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2027/28
** Annual organic operating profit fell 11.5%, less than the 12.4% drop expected in a company-compiled consensus
