Reuters Parigi, il 16 luglio 2019, ha segnalato una possibile alleanza tra Casino e Carrefour “dovuta alle difficoltà incontrate dall’azionista di maggioranza di Casino” (attaccato da 18 fondi attivisti).
Le azioni di Casino sono salite del 2%.
Non è la prima volta che questi “rumors” arrivano sui giornali.
Come abbiamo già detto sia Carrefour che Casino non sono paragonabili ad Esselunga, in nessun modo.

PARIS (Reuters) – Shares in French retailer Casino (CASP.PA) rose around 2% on Tuesday after Barclays said in a note that a tie-up with larger rival Carrefour (CARR.PA) could be a possibility “given the difficulties encountered by Casino’s majority shareholder.”
“Such a combination looks potentially interesting as the new entity would become leader in France and Brazil and would be able to benefit from significant synergies,” wrote Barclays.
Barclays said it was difficult to ascribe a particular percentage likelihood to this merger happening, but it estimated potential savings at 0.9% of sales of the combined group, or total gross synergies of around 1 billion euros ($1.12 billion).
