Nexi SpA

Nexi reports results above expectations: second-quarter revenue was €915m, and net revenue for the first half was €1,736m (+1% reported, organic growth around 5%). EBITDA remained at €870m (margin 50.1%), normalized pre-tax profit rose 6.6% to €542m, and €400m of excess cash was generated, substantially reducing gross debt. Management confirmed the full-year targets, and an increased stake by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (about 27.6%) strengthens owner stability. » Altro su de.investing.com

CDP Equity announced it will significantly expand its stake in Nexi and raise its holding to up to 29.9%, partly through derivative-backed subscriptions linked to 8% of the capital. The aim is to stabilize the shareholder structure after the exit of Advent and Bain Capital; a takeover offer was ruled out. The announcement is seen as a strategic move to strengthen Italian influence on the European payments infrastructure and sent Nexi shares sharply higher in trading. » Altro su de.investing.com
