  • THE IMPACT of ACQUISITION on STOCK VALUE in CASE of WARSAW STOCK EXCHANGE Wojciech Kaczmarczyk1
    ECONOMICS AND CULTURE 16(1), 2019 DOI: 10.2478/jec-2019-0008 THE IMPACT OF ACQUISITION ON STOCK VALUE IN CASE OF WARSAW STOCK EXCHANGE Wojciech Kaczmarczyk1 DOI: 10.1515/jec-2016-0014 1University of Economics in Katowice, 1 Maja street 50, 40-287 Katowice, Poland, [email protected], ORCID: 0000-0003-2037-2568 Abstract Research purpose: Seven of 10 companies that have won the Polish Forbes edition Merge & Acquisition 2018 Ranking are listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange. The aim of the conducted research was to test if the biggest acquisitions have an impact on stocks value and is it possible for typical investor to create extra profit by using knowledge of acquisition based on public information. Design/Methodology/Approach: Using data from Warsaw Stock Exchange (quotations), typical measures such as rate of return, standard deviation (risk), correlation and transaction volume changes were calculated. Each of the case results obtained for the company was compared with the result for stock market indexes: WIG (Warszawski Indeks Giełdowy – main WSE index), WIG20 (WSE sub-index of the 20 largest companies), mWIG40 (WSE sub-index of 40 medium companies) and sWIG80 (WSE sub-index of 80 small companies). In addition, the outcomes were confronted with public news (from WSE Electronic System for Information Transfer). Findings: Conducted research has shown that generally successful finalisation of acquisition results in changes of stock prices behaviour. Unfortunately, observed reactions were not the same. Acquisitions induced both increases and decreases in stock prices; there was also no rule in case of risk change. Generally, acquisitions and merges had rather good influence in banking sector (which is still concentrating), but there was no common reaction in other sectors.

  • Grupa Azoty Strengthens Partnership with New Chemical Syntheses
    08.02.2018 Grupa Azoty strengthens partnership with New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy On the initiative of Przemysław Czarnek, Governor of the Lublin Province, the Grupa Azoty Group, Poland’s leading chemical group, and the New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy (INS), a renowned Polish research centre, have signed a letter of intent on close and regular cooperation. Group-wide coordination of R&D activities combined with new multidisciplinary projects will improve the Group’s chances of launching innovative solutions on an industrial scale. Fully unlocking the research potential of the Institute, a well- established research centre with over 50 years of presence in the Lublin Province, will also spur further development of the region and the Polish chemical industry at large. “ I am very glad that the New Chemical Syntheses Institute of Puławy will collaborate not only with Grupa Azoty Puławy, but also with other Grupa Azoty Group companies across Poland. It is an important milestone on the road towards closer cooperation between science and business – an effort championed by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Minister of Science and Higher Education Jarosław Gowin. I believe that strong links between all Grupa Azoty Group companies and the INS, fostered across many areas, will contribute to the development of the Institute itself, which already has a successful track record in scientific research spanning several decades, as well as of the entire Lublin Province,” said Przemysław Czarnek, the Lublin Province Governor. The partnership will involve participation in R&D and implementation projects in Poland and abroad, research and development of new products and manufacturing technologies and their pilot implementation.

  • Grupa Azoty: Hold (Downgraded) ATT PW; ATT.WA | Chemicals, Poland
    Tuesday, August 30, 2016 | update Grupa Azoty: hold (downgraded) ATT PW; ATT.WA | Chemicals, Poland Cheap Grain Keeps Fertilizer Prices Down Current Price PLN 64.79 Target Price PLN 65.50 After a bumper harvest in former Soviet states and in both Americas, the world is set for the fourth consecutive global grain surplus in the Market Cap PLN 6.4bn 2016/2017 season which, in our view, is more than likely to keep Free Float PLN 1.5bn the prices of crops and cereals low at least through to the end of ADTV (3M) PLN 8.52m 2016. In this environment, there is no room for producers of agricultural fertilizers like Grupa Azoty to raise their sales prices for Ownership at least another year-and-a-half. Accordingly, we have lowered our 2016 and 2017 grain price assumptions, originally predicated on the Polish Government 33.00% expectation that a lower harvest in Europe would mitigate the global Wiaczesław Kantor (Acron) 19.70% oversupply of crops, and likewise we have downgraded our NN OFE 9.96% expectations as to the prices of fertilizers. Consequently, we have TFI PZU AM 8.60% revised our financial forecasts for Grupa Azoty's Fertilizer business, EBRD 5.75% and we now expect that the segmental EBITDA will post a drop of 12.2% in 2016 and 25.2% in 2017. On a positive note, at the same time we expect improvement in the Chemicals segment, driven Others 22.99% mainly by high prices of melamine. On our updated estimates, ATT is trading at respective premiums of 4% and 16% relative to 2017E Business Profile and 2018E peer EV/EBITDA ratios.
