Looking for more on the Coca-Cola Amatil (CCL) takeover?
After strong material growth and Cashflow in June, followed by the announcement of a dividend in August, Morgans Senior Food and Beverage Analyst Belinda Moore upgraded the Australian division of Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Amatil's (ASX:CCL) price target evaluation from $8.93 to $10.39.
Such strength in earnings recovery, amidst a crisis saw Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) recognise an opportunity for a potential TAKEOVER. The European business made a non-binding proposal via a scheme of arrangements, to acquire 100% of the shares in CCL from independent shareholders for cash consideration of A$12.75 per share.
The Eurpean Partners offer continues a trend of consolidation among the Coca-Cola bottlers given the synergies and geographic diversification benefits. The takeover would broaden the CCEP's operations beyond the Eurpoean operations in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, PNG, Fiji and Samoa.
Coca-Cola European Partners is the world’s largest Coca-Cola bottler by revenue, with 48 bottling sites across key European nations including Germany, Spain and Great Britain. Coca-Cola European Partners was created from the three-way merger of Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coca-Cola Iberian Partners and Germany’s Coca-Cola in 2015.
CCEP has a market cap of A$25bn (pre-takeover).
Interestingly, the current proposal also follows CCL receiving a ‘number of previous proposals’ from CCEP – suggesting our previous August analysis of CCL was absolutely correct.
