Acquisition of FMK Group accelerates scaling and creates mutual synergies

At the beginning of August, the JDC Group (ISIN DE000A0B9N37, Open Market, JDC GY) announced its planned acquisition of initially 60% of the FMK Group. The transaction is expected to be completed at the end of September 2025 and will be reflected accordingly in the final quarter. The purchase price (fixed and variable) for the 60% stake is in the high double-digit million Euro range and will be financed through a (guaranteed) bond (initial volume of around €70 million). There is also the option of acquiring the entire FMK Group. It should be emphasised that the acquisition will contribute directly to an improvement in earnings – also because the integration costs are low, while economies of scale can be leveraged quickly, and mutual synergies are expected.

Our fundamental analysis yields a value of € 31.36. the peer group analysis on the basis of 2025 and 2026 returns an average value of € 40.32. Weighted equally, this results in a Fair Value per share of € 35.84. We reiterate our rating ‘Buy’.
