Large Near-Term M&A Looks Unlikely for CAR Group -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jul 17, 2025

2359 GMT - The departure of CAR Group's CEO is seen by its bull at Citi as an indication that large-scale M&A activity is unlikely in the near term. Analyst Siraj Ahmed thinks that the board is potentially comfortable with the vehicle-advertiser's set-up for fiscal 2026. He does wonder why the leadership is changing now, but points out that Cameron McIntyre's long spell in charge and recent acceptance of a board role at pallet provider Brambles means that the move isn't totally unexpected. Ahmed tells clients in a note that CAR's decision to promote McIntyre's successor from within chimes with its history. Citi has a buy rating and A$42.60 target price on the stock, which is at A$37.44 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
