Prysmian

Prysmian reported quarterly revenue of €6.42 billion (+28%) and adjusted EBITDA of €851 million (+32%), both well above expectations. The cable maker raised its EBITDA guidance for 2026 to €3.08–3.13 billion and slightly increased its free cash flow forecast, supported by a strong US data‑center business. Analysts now expect the 2028 EBITDA target to be achievable two years earlier; the stock remains volatile but, with a P/E of 17, is not considered overpriced. » Mere på deraktionaer.de

Prysmian is likely to achieve organic revenue growth in the high single-digit percentage range in the third quarter, supported by strong demand from data centers for fiber-optic cables after disclosing orders worth €10 billion. Transmission and Digital Solutions could grow in the double digits, Power Grids is improving thanks to higher prices, and Electrification benefits from strong US demand. With a 2027 P/E of 21 the stock appears attractively valued; technically it is testing the 200-day moving average, and a breakout could take the share back to the record high around €157. » Mere på deraktionaer.de

Prysmian plans to acquire Atkore for $3.8 billion (about $95 per share plus debt) to add conduits, fittings and cable trays to its cable portfolio and position the group as a one‑stop supplier for distributors and data centers. The deal implies a 9.8x EBITDA multiple on 2025 figures and targets $150 million in annual synergies by 2029, with roughly $100 million from commercial bundling and $50 million from operational savings. Prysmian expects the transaction to be accretive to EPS from year one excluding synergies and to finance the deal with roughly 60% debt, 20% equity and 20% hybrid debt while preserving an investment‑grade rating. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com

Prysmian has agreed to buy U.S. electrical-products maker Atkore in an all-cash transaction worth $3.8 billion, paying $95 per Atkore share — about 30% above Friday’s closing price. The takeover is intended to strengthen Prysmian’s electrical infrastructure product portfolio, notably given expected demand from electrification and the expansion of AI data centers in the U.S. The boards of both companies approved unanimously; closing is targeted by the end of 2026 and will be financed with a mix of debt and equity. » Mere på de.investing.com

Prysmian shares turned from initial gains into losses, falling to €113 after the quarterly report and the subsequent investor conference were released. Analysts had expected significantly higher revenues, adjusted EBITDA above consensus and an upward revision to guidance, so even small deviations triggered profit-taking. Sensitivity was increased by a missed EPS in Q1 and a neutral macroeconomic backdrop, while competitors did not report any negative industry news. » Mere på de.investing.com
