CARREFOUR - BUY | EUR20(+16%)
Auchan not ready to give up consolidation dreams so easily

Auchan in negotiations to team up with PE funds for a new bid
From a bid of EUR21.5/share with 70% cash/30% shares…
…to a bid of EUR23.5/share with 100% cash?
No concrete announcements likely before May
Carrefour is definitively an M&A play for 2022: if not Auchan, maybe Couche-Tard or other PE funds

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
