Perpetual's Sale Terms Look More Reasonable Than Attractive -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
03/16

2355 GMT - Perpetual's sale of its wealth business to Bain Capital is on terms that look reasonable rather than overly attractive to the Australian investment manager, Citi analyst Nigel Pittaway says. Perpetual will sell its 139-year-old franchise to the private-equity provider for an initial A$500 million, but Pittaway points out that it will also incur A$30 million in costs plus a tax liability of at least A$45 million. On the other hand, he tells clients in a note that Perpetual could also receive earn-outs of up to A$75 million. He adds that the sale resolves a key issue by allowing Perpetual to pay off some debt. Citi has a last-published neutral rating and A$19.70 target price on the stock, which is up 0.7% at A$16.35. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
