Finmeccanica shines in Piazza Affari in the wake of the rumors that speak of a final squeeze on the negotiations for the sale of Ansaldo Breda to Hitachi.
At 16 pm the stock gained 2,79%, trading at 3,602 euros after a high of 3,74 euros, with intense volumes, in a weak market, with the Ftse Mib losing 2,17%. On a bad day for Milan, the performance of the subsidiary Ansaldo Sts, the financial holding company at the head of companies in the railway transport systems sector, can also be considered good, up by 0,75%.
Japan's Hitachi should soon complete due diligence (analysis of value and conditions) on Ansaldo Breda, a company that builds rail vehicles. According to the newspaper, Hitachi would also acquire 29% of Ansaldo STS from Finmeccanica, while CDP would acquire 18%, in an operation that would bring the overall Italian share (Finmeccanica and CDP) to 29%.
