Vysarn's (ASX:VYS) planned acquisition of NewGround is strategically consistent with its objective of building an integrated water services business, and it has reached a level of scale/diversification that positions it as a leading vertically integrated provider of end-to-end water solutions in Australia, Euroz Hartleys said in a Wednesday note.

Vysarn entered into a binding share sale agreement for the acquisition of NewGround, which deals in industrial-scale irrigation systems, pumping systems, and ancillary technology, for a total consideration of up to 33 million Vysarn shares and AU$25 million in cash.

The deal broadens its exposure beyond resources and utilities by establishing a new operating segment focused on water infrastructure, irrigation, facilities management, and related services. It provides greater earnings diversification, introduces more defensive revenue streams, and creates opportunities to leverage NewGround's capabilities across Vysarn's existing water services platform.

The acquisition is expected to be immediately earnings-per-share accretive on a pro-forma basis.

The investment firm retained its buy rating on Vysarn and placed the price target of AU$0.89 per share under review.
