Sonic Healthcare May Face Antitrust Issue in Germany -- Market Talk

2024/12/10

0213 GMT - Sonic Healthcare could have to agree to asset divestments before antitrust regulators approve its acquisition of German lab group LADR, Jarden analysts say. They point out in a note that the Australian pathology provider already has a 20%-25% market share in Germany, which would surpass 30% with the deal and yet further with another deal slated for 2027. The analysts see risk of antitrust issues and warn that any forced asset sales could change the economics of the acquisition. Jarden lifts its target price 3.5% to A$29.04 and keeps a neutral rating on the stock, which is down 0.2% at A$28.55. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
