DAVY VIEW

Grafton has followed up on the recent Cygnum acquisition with another deal. This time it is acquiring the Spanish-based Mercaluz for up to €175m at an attractive valuation of around 8x last year’s adjusted operating profit. Strategically, the deal ticks all the right boxes and extends Grafton’s presence in Iberia in a meaningful way.
