-- 芬蘭電梯製造商通力(Kone,股票代號:KNEBV.HE)週三宣布,將與德國同行TK電梯公司合併,交易金額達294億歐元,以現金加股票的方式完成,合併後的公司將成為全球最大的電梯和自動扶梯公司之一。 這家芬蘭電梯和自動扶梯製造商將從由私募股權公司Advent和Cinven牽頭的財團手中收購Vertical Topco II的全部已發行股本,後者持有TK電梯公司的所有資產。根據合併計劃,通力將向Advent和Cinven共同擁有的控股公司Vertical Topco I支付50億歐元現金,以及最多2.7億股新發行的通力B類股票作為對價,總價值達152億歐元。 合併後的公司將由通力總裁兼執行長Philippe Delorme領導。通力財務長Ilkka Hara和董事長Antti Herlin也將繼續在合併後的公司擔任原職。 科尼表示,合併後的集團總部將設在芬蘭,在全球100個國家擁有超過10萬名員工,上一財年的年銷售額將達205億歐元。 該交易預計最快將於2027年第二季完成,但需獲得監管機構和股東的批准。 「我們的初步印像是,此交易的估值似乎略高於先前媒體的預測(約250億歐元)。令我們感到意外的是,TKE的估值似乎略高於先前媒體的預測(約250億歐元)。令我們感到意外的是,TKE的估值高於科尼(科尼的企業價值為285億歐元,以2026年預期企業價值/息稅前利潤計算,竟然為18.5倍),而科尼是一家擁有長期穩健人家的英國皇家市場記錄公司。 Markets)的分析師在一份簡報中表示,他們對此交易持負面看法。 「如果充分考慮協同效應,這筆交易的經濟效益看起來還可以,但執行層面存在明顯的挑戰,而且可能涉及反壟斷風險。簡而言之,我們擔心通力(Kone)的股權優勢——行業領先的增長、強勁的銷售業績和健康的利潤率擴張——在未來兩年或更長時間內將被TKE的交易所掩蓋。」 週三中午,通力(Kone)在赫爾辛基的股價下跌超過3%。

Research Alert: Regn Posts Strong Q1 Fueled By Dupixent And Eylea Hd Amid Manufacturing Issues
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Regeneron delivered robust Q1 2026 results with total revenues of $3.6B (+19% Y/Y) and non-GAAP EPS of $9.47 (+15% Y/Y), beating consensus estimates. The EYLEA franchise continues to transition from traditional EYLEA to EYLEA HD, with HD sales reaching $468M (+52% Y/Y) while traditional sales declined to $473M (-36% Y/Y) due to biosimilar competition. We view the underlying portfolio strength as encouraging, with Dupixent maintaining exceptional momentum at global sales of $4.9B (+33% Y/Y) and physician unit demand for EYLEA HD increasing 10% sequentially despite inventory normalization. Management expects manufacturing disruptions at the Limerick facility to normalize by the end of Q2, lowering full-year GAAP gross margin guidance to 77%-78%. We believe the company's diversified revenue base and deep pipeline of nearly 50 clinical programs, including the recent Otarmeni approval and advancing Factor XI antibody Phase 3 studies, position REGN well for continued growth despite near-term manufacturing headwinds.
