Schenker, what Schenker? DSV boss talks up options – yes, Sir!
New corporate structure also serves ‘potential M&A that may come up’. May? Potential?
REUTERS reports:
Canadian National (CNR.TO) said on Tuesday it had offered to buy railroad operator Kansas City Southern (KSU.N) for about $30 billion, trumping a rival bid by Canadian Pacific (CP.TO) and sending the U.S. company’s shares up more than 20%.
Either combination will create the largest North American railways, spanning across the United States, Mexico and Canada, by transaction value.
The offers come amid a recovery in supply chains that were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and follow the ratification of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement last year that removed the threat of trade tensions which had escalated under former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Canadian National’s offer of $325 per share, including $200 in cash and 1.059 shares, represents a premium of 26.8% to Kansas City Southern’s last close on Monday.
