Genesee & Wyoming is grappling with lackluster shipment demand, but long-term opportunities remain.

Narrow-moat Genesee & Wyoming (G&W) agreed to purchase Pentalver Transport from Maersk’s APM Terminals division for $110 million in cash. The business will become part of G&W’s U.K./Europe division, which also includes much of the former Freightliner operations (acquired in early 2015). The deal will likely close in first-quarter 2017. In part to finance the transaction, G&W will issue roughly 4 million shares of common stock; around $300 million at the current $75.5 market price...
