Bureau Veritas is negotiating the sale of its inspection division for oil, petrochemicals and coal to Triton Partners at an enterprise value of €470m. The unit generated around €450m in revenue in 2025, showed slower growth and weighed on the group’s margin. The transaction implies an EV/EBIT of 11.1 based on 2025 (IFRS 16) and is expected to be largely earnings‑neutral on completion, while improving organic growth, adjusted operating margin and return on capital. Proceeds are to be reinvested in higher‑growth, higher‑margin areas; closing is expected by the end of Q1 2027, subject to employee consultations and customary conditions. » More on de.investing.com
