Mayank Tandon has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding the acquisition of WNS by Capgemini. The agreed purchase price of $76.50 per share represents a premium over WNS’s recent closing price, suggesting a favorable deal for shareholders. However, the Hold rating reflects a cautious stance, likely due to the transaction’s alignment with current market conditions and the modest organic growth outlook for WNS.
Despite the acquisition being seen as a positive move for shareholders, the timing of the deal, possibly influenced by reduced economic uncertainties, suggests a need for careful consideration. The transaction’s approval by both companies’ boards and the expected closure by year-end adds a layer of certainty, yet the Hold rating indicates a balanced view, taking into account both the potential benefits and the inherent risks associated with the acquisition.
In another report released today, TD Cowen also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $76.50 price target.
