Saint Gobain: in exclusive talks to sell Lapeyre?

(CercleFinance.com) - Saint-Gobain's process to sell Lapeyre, which it began last September, is in its final stretch, according to Le Figaro.


Saint-Gobain appears to have selected two candidates, two investment funds specialising in company turnarounds: the French fund, Equinox Industries, and the German fund, Mutares, Oddo says in its daily equity review.

Exclusive negotiations are scheduled for this summer, before the deal is finalised in the autumn.

Saint-Gobain would be ready to finance the buyer. In other words, the group would pay E300m/E400m to get rid of this asset..., Oddo says.

The broker says that Saint-Gobain appears to be well equipped to face this difficult situation, with free cash of 5 billion euros, in addition to credit facilities of 4 billion euros, Oddo adds. The broker confirms its buy rating on the share, with a target price of 42 euros.
