1 min read

MONTREAL (Reuters) – The biggest shareholder in Air Canada AC.TO and Transat A.T. Inc TRZ.TO said on Tuesday that AC’s revised offer for the Canadian tour operator was “a very reasonable one,” given the turmoil in the aviation industry.

Peter Letko, a co-founder of investment manager Letko Brosseau, called the deal “good news” but said the firm would wait to see if a rival bidder emerged before committing to the Air Canada offer.

On Saturday, Air Canada, Canada’s biggest airline, cut the deal value to buy Transat by nearly 75% to about C$188.7 million ($143.9 million), down from C$720 million, as COVID-19 weighs on travel demand.

Transat shares rose as much as 30% as Air Canada’s revised offer raised optimism the

Tata Motors: FCF And Deleveraging Are Top Priorities (NYSE:TTM)

1 min read

Tata Motors Limited (TTM), a dominant player in the Indian commercial vehicle market, is one of the most undervalued companies in the automotive industry with an A+ Value Grade backed by trading multiples being materially below the sector medians. But while cheap valuation might be a Buy signal, investors should interpret the price the market is paying with caution, as there is always a reason or, better to say, a story behind low multiples.

TTM price has gone up ~14% since October 2019, but if we place these gains in a broader context, e.g., look five years back, we will notice that it has been just a price fluctuation amid an incessant decline since late 2016 when the stock was trading above $40 for the last time. But it did not happen without cogent reason: the downward plunge was precipitated by a slew of downside catalysts.

Pope Meets Australian Cardinal Pell in Midst of Money Scandal | Top News

1 min read

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis met on Monday with Australian Cardinal George Pell, the Vatican’s former economy minister who has returned to Rome after the firing of an Italian cardinal whom Pell had accused of obstructing financial reform.

Pell was cleared earlier this year of sexual abuse charges in Australia after spending 13 months in prison, and it remains unclear whether he will take up another role in the Vatican.

The Vatican announced the meeting between Pell and Pope Francis in a statement on the pope’s daily private audiences, but gave no details. “It went very well,” Pell told reporters in front of his residence just outside the Vatican walls.

Pell returned to Rome on Sept. 30, just days after the pope fired Pell’s nemesis, Italian Cardinal Angelo Becciu, who was accused of embezzlement and nepotism. Becciu has denied all wrongdoing.

While Becciu was number two in the Vatican’s

Poland’s newest stock listing became the largest company on the country’s main exchange, highlighting investor demand for technology exposure as the Eastern European nation is introduced to Nasdaq-level valuations.

Allegro.eu SA shares jumped as much as 51% to 65 zloty at the start of trading in Warsaw on Monday. The firm and its private-equity investors priced the 9.2 billion-zloty ($2.4 billion) IPO at the top end of a marketed range, cashing in on soaring demand for digital sales as consumers stuck at home indulge in virtual retail therapy.

Before the trading start, analysts at Bernstein estimated Allegro’s enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to be about 37, above the likes of Amazon.com Inc and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, but below MercadoLibre Inc. and European fashion retailer Zalando SE, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
