(NEW: Further reports, background, course of the course)
Frankfurt (dpa -Afx) – ProSiebenSat.1 (ProSiebenSat1 Media SE) benefited from new takeover fantasies on Wednesday. The other person did not matter that the US investment bank Goldman Sachs recommend the shares as part of an industry study due to weak fundamental terms and conditions. The small -scale index SDAX hardly moved from the spot.
In the late morning, the title of the media company at the top were skyrocketed by 7.7 percent. They made it just to the 7-euro mark and set the a few days ago back since summer 2024. There, however, the course turned once again, because the plus was finally melted together to 3 percent.
There have long been speculation that the television group (MFE mediaurope) (MFE) (MFE mediaurope) currently with almost 30 percent. But reports that there could be movement in this matter. As reported by the Bloomberg news agency, citing circles, the Italians are about to make an offer. In other reports there was talk of a meeting of the MFE board of directors this Wednesday.
Most recently, ProSiebenSat.1 had simplified his own portfolio structure. These include the sale of the Verivox comparison portal and the acquisition of investments in the e-commerce business NUCOM and the Parshipmeet Group, in the move of which the US financial investor General Atlantic rise to the minority shareholder of ProSiebenSat.1.
These steps could anticipate an offer, because the large shareholder MFE belonging to the Berlusconi family has long been calling for a concentration on core activities in the entertainment business. The day before, the amber analyst Annick Maas had written with a view to the MFE interest, and the simplification of the portfolio structure could facilitate a takeover offer. For a potential buyer, the debt of the media group remains a “bitter pill”.
Since the low since 2009, which was at 4.50 euros at the beginning of December, the ProSiebenSat.1 shares have also recovered by more than half because of the hope of economically better times and recurring advertising spending. Compared to the record that dates from 2015 over 50 euros, this is only a small step./Tih/la/he
