Franchetti S.P.A. ( (IT:FCH) ) has issued an announcement.
Franchetti S.p.A. has agreed, via a new Brazilian subsidiary, to acquire 55% of São Paulo-based ECR Engenharia and ECR Tecnologia e Engenharia, which specialize in engineering services for roads, railways, urban mobility, water infrastructure, bridges, viaducts, galleries, tunnels and complex buildings. The deal, financed through a mix of internal resources and debt, will leave ECR’s founding partners with a 45% stake and key management roles, while creating a combined group of over 400 professionals and an aggregate backlog of about €90 million.
The acquisition is expected to roughly double Franchetti’s operating scale from the current financial year, significantly expanding its customer base and the volume of managed infrastructure assets in Brazil, one of the world’s largest infrastructure markets. By pairing ECR’s execution capacity and institutional presence in large public programs with Franchetti’s proprietary digital and data-analysis capabilities, the group aims to raise the technical content of its services, strengthen its competitive position in Latin America and lay the foundations for a broader, disciplined international growth strategy.
The most recent analyst rating on (IT:FCH) stock is a Buy with a EUR9.40 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Franchetti S.P.A. stock, see the IT:FCH Stock Forecast page.
