Financial Deal Insights Energy & Utilities 2008
Datamonitor, Dec 2008, Pages: 5
Introduction
Ongoing market developments, particularly in terms of liberalization, have resulted in continued energy sector M&A. The monthly Financial Deal Insights series provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of this activity in the energy and utilities sector. It offers a unique insight into both deal activity, deal rationale and the market fundamentals driving the sector.
Scope
- Analysis through two deliverables analyst opinion on key deals (PDF brief), and monthly roundup with analysis of trends and drivers (PowerPoint)
- Insights into deal activity across M&A, private equity, private placement, IPO, secondary offering, and strategic alliance deals
- Analysis on all key sectors, namely upstream, midstream, downstream, power generation, utilities network, utilities retail, and wholesale energy
- Detailed analysis of the deal activity during the month, along with the trend for the last six months by deal volume and value
Highlights
With upstream assets looking less attractive than they did previously, a number of investors are looking to utilities for lower risk, steadier return investments
As the credit crunch spreads to both the upstream and utilities sectors, a number of players are urgently looking to divest assets, either directly or indirectly as minority shareholders. Nowhere has this trend been more apparent than in Spain and Italy, where major M&A opportunities look likely to open up.
Minority shareholders in Repsol are looking to sell their stakes to correct balance sheets, but any sale will remain difficult.
