Unicredit Might Need to Launch a New Offer or Reduce Its Commerzbank Stake

Dow Jones06-25

0818 GMT - The cost of capital and regulatory pressure surrounding UniCredit's takeover offer for Commerzbank could force the Italian lender to launch a new offer or reduce its stake, analysts at Baader write in a note. Since the option of reducing its stake is hedged, there is limited downside risk, the analysts say. UniCredit didn't initially intend to take control of Commerzbank, and there will be a significant fall in return on investment, with UniCredit required to take control of the other bank. Shares in UniCredit are up 0.54% at 78.18 euros. (aimee.look@wsj.com)
