Corentin Marty has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding the recent strategic developments at A.L.A. S.p.A. The announcement of a significant agreement between the group’s majority shareholder, AIP, and H.I.G. Capital for the sale of a substantial portion of A.L.A.’s share capital is a pivotal factor. The transaction is priced at a premium compared to the stock’s recent averages, indicating a positive market perception and potential for future growth.
Additionally, the reinvestment by AIP into the new holding company, Wing, which will hold a majority stake in A.L.A., suggests a continued commitment to the company’s future. This strategic move is expected to be followed by a mandatory takeover bid, which could further enhance shareholder value. The anticipated closure of the transaction by mid-August adds a timeline for investors, providing clarity and potential for capital appreciation.
