ENGIE: The French “PACTE” law to pave the way for a potential capital opening of GRTGaz

ENGIE: (BUY, Fair Value EUR15,5 (+17%))
The French “PACTE” law to pave the way for a potential capital opening of GRTGaz
According to French newspaper, Les Echos, the French “PACTE” law will include the option for a potential capital opening of GRTgaz, currently 75% owned by Engie. Until now, GRTGaz had to be fully owned by either Engie or French State-owned entities. With the “PACTE” law, the threshold may be lowered to 50% implying a potential disposal to another private investor which could lead to deeper partnerships at the European level. Assuming a c. 25% capital opening, this could imply a c. EUR2.5bn potential cash-in for Engie, according to our first-take estimates.

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.
