What the Analysts think about Greencore Group
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Greencore Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The £1.2 billion acquisition of Bakkavor increases combined revenues to about £4 billion, further strengthening Greencore’s market position in UK convenience foods and providing scale benefits across manufacturing and distribution.
The deal structure—0.604 new Greencore shares and 85 pence in cash per Bakkavor share—maintains cash flow discipline, keeps incremental leverage limited, and aligns shareholder interests, with binding commitments from holders of around 69.4% of Bakkavor shares.
The transaction is forecast to deliver significant synergies in manufacturing, distribution, procurement, and administrative areas, supporting potential margin improvement for the combined group.
Integration risk is heightened as Bakkavor is in the midst of restructuring in the UK, China, and the U.S., which could complicate the integration process and delay the realization of anticipated synergies.
The 32.5% premium paid for Bakkavor shares raises overvaluation concerns if expected synergies in manufacturing, distribution, purchasing, and administration do not materialize, or if broader economic conditions deteriorate, potentially threatening deal accretion.
The achievement of full deal value is contingent on the sale of Bakkavor’s U.S. business, the timing and outcome of which are uncertain and may delay anticipated shareholder returns.
