Details on Potential Julius Baer-EFG International Deal Add Weight -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-06

1336 GMT - Extra details surrounding a potential Julius Baer takeover of peer EFG International add weight to the story, Citi says in a note after a report that the Swiss private bank could announce a merger offer at CHF15 a EFG share as soon as Friday. The news sent Julius Baer's shares 6.7% lower while EFG's stock rose as much as 10%. "If true, we understand the stock reactions, particularly for [Julius Baer ], as in our view deal merger math does not appear attractive," analyst Nicholas Herman writes. The deal would also have significant execution risk, he adds, referring to differences in corporate culture and compensation models. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
