What the Analysts think about Greencore Group
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Greencore Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Significant scale and cost synergies: the £1.2 billion acquisition of Bakkavor will create a combined convenience-food group with approximately £4 billion in annual revenue and is expected to deliver meaningful synergies in manufacturing, distribution, purchasing, administration, and supply-chain operations, strengthening Greencore’s competitive positioning (FT).
Enhanced market share in key retailers: following the deal, Greencore shareholders will own about 56% of the combined entity, solidifying the company’s status as a leading supplier to major UK supermarkets such as Tesco, M&S, and Waitrose, and leveraging Bakkavor’s established customer base for cross-selling opportunities (Reuters).
Robust end-market demand sustains growth: despite industry cost pressures, Greencore’s growth has been underpinned by strong demand for pre-packaged convenience foods, validating the business model and positioning the company to capture ongoing consumer preference for ready-to-eat products (Reuters).
High acquisition premium and immediate market skepticism: Greencore’s offer for Bakkavor at 200 pence per share represented a 32.5% premium, prompting a 3% drop in Greencore’s share price on the deal announcement, indicating perceived overvaluation and dilution risk for existing shareholders (Reuters).
Integration and financing risks loom large: the £1.2 billion cash-and-stock deal spans multiple geographies (UK, China, US) and includes contingent value rights tied to the sale of Bakkavor’s US business by mid-2026, exposing Greencore to execution complexity and potential refinancing pressures amid cost headwinds (Reuters).
Deal approval remains uncertain: the acquisition is subject to both shareholder and regulatory approval, creating timing uncertainty that could delay synergy realization and leave Greencore exposed to antitrust scrutiny and potential transaction adjustments (FT).
