Engie (Buy, FV EUR15.5) said to weigh offer for all or part of EDP Renovaveis

ENGIE: (BUY, Fair Value EUR15,5 (+19%))
Engie (Buy, FV EUR15.5) said to weigh offer for all or part of EDP Renovaveis (Neutral, FV EUR7.5)
According to Bloomberg, Engie (Buy, FV EUR15.5) is among suitors considering a bid for all or part of EDP Renovaveis (Neutral, FV EUR7.5). Despite an increase balance sheet flexibility following the recent disposal of its 69% stake in Glow, we would consider the option of Engie teaming up with CTG as more likely with Engie potentially acquiring only part of current EDPR’s portfolio as we believe that 1/Belgian nuclear provisions remain a sword of Damocles for the group and a 100% acquisition of EDPR would lead Economic Net Debt/EBITDA ratio close to 4x according to our estimates and that 2/the company is mainly interested in EDPR’s US assets (~EUR6bn EV, as per our estimates). Our first take estimates imply a potential 2019e-2020e EPS accretion of around 13% and 7% in the event of a) an acquisition of all of EDPR’s share capital and b) of US assets only. This morning, Engie said that it is not currently preparing a bid for EDP Renovaveis and that no decision has been taken yet on this topic.

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.
