Rumor that only the Porsche division will be listed from VW
The Volkswagen Group was recently reported in Bloomberg and others about the possibility of listing Porsche.
The reason for the listing is said to be the software of the VW Group and the cash raising required for the transition to electric vehicles.
It is said that "a person familiar with the matter" told the media that "Porsche may be listed." In other words, "a person who is familiar with this". No, who is it?
Anyway, it seems that this person, "Who are you?", Talked about this matter on Thursday, February 18, 2021.
However, "(the story of listing) exists, but it is not a story that has reached the level of discussion at the board of directors, and it will never be listed within 2021."
Well, it's not even on the board ...
According to the German "Manager Magazine", VW will list up to 25% of Porsche shares, and the valuation will be about 20 to 25 billion euros (about 2.5 to 3 trillion yen).
By the way, VW is refraining from commenting on this matter at this time, and VW's largest shareholder Porsche Automobile Holding SE, which owns VW's stock 31.4% and VW voting right 53.1%, is also refraining from commenting. That is.
VW is said to be facing fierce competition in the development of electric and self-driving vehicles, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Peugeot-owning Group PSA have merged. , It seems that the pressure is increasing because it became the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in the world (STELLANTIS).
Some analysts say the Porsche listing is worth around € 100 billion and could exceed the parent's current market capitalization.
However, this has been speculated for some time, and in 2018 Porsche AG CFO Lutz Meschke could be listed on Porsche alone in an interview and worth up to 70 billion euros. It is also said that there is.
At that time, he also said, "Ferrari and Aston Martin also benefited from the listing, and Porsche should think of ways to make the company more attractive."
Well, it is declared that there will be nothing within 2021, and it is a story that I do not know what will happen yet, but since it was reported, I took a look ^ ^
So who is "someone familiar with this matter" ~ (laughs)!
