Commerzbank Shareholders Should Hold Out on UniCredit Offer, LBBW Says -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-18

1426 GMT - Commerzbank, currently the takeover target of Italy's UniCredit, recently reported good results and a promising strategy, alongside a dividend policy that is highly favorable to shareholders, LBBW says in a note. LBBW analysts don't see an economic incentive for shareholders in Germany's Commerzbank to accept UniCredit's offer, which is share-based. "We recommend continuing to hold Commerzbank shares and waiting to see how the situation develops," LBBW says. Commerzbank shares trade 1.0% lower at 36.11 euros. (sarah.sloat@wsj.com)
