Maas's Construction Materials Sale Surprises Bull -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
02/06

2109 GMT - Maas Group's decision to sell its construction materials division to Heidelberg for A$1.70 billion surprises Jefferies, who says it increases the company's risk profile. Still, a strategic pivot toward higher-growth infrastructure projects has merit. "The demand tailwinds for the electrification sector, with Maas's expertise and the material shortages for skilled electrical contractors/trades, position them well to capitalize," analyst John Campbell says. The deal with Heidelberg will leave Maas with around A$650 million of net cash. That could drive EPS higher over the long term. Jefferies retains a buy call and A$5.25/share price target on Maas. It hasn't updated forecasts as it waits for relevant approvals of the deal with Heidelberg. Maas ended Thursday at A$4.11. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
