0731 GMT - The market is still pricing in an improvement in Spanish lender BBVA's hostile takeover offer for smaller peer Sabadell, Renta 4 says in a research note. While there are several potential scenarios on the table, BBVA should get the go-ahead to reach the acceptance period without improving its offer, analyst Nuria Alvarez writes. "In this case, we are cautious about the reaction of Sabadell's share price, given that despite the good fundamentals, we believe that part of its re-rating is linked with the possible improvement of the offer," she says. BBVA's share-price performance will be more dependent on the acceptance rate and the deal's final profitability metrics, she says. According to the current estimated timeline and pending approvals, the bid's acceptance period should start toward the end of June. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
