Deoleo Shares Drop 19% Following Proposed Acquisition by DCOOP and Acesur
Shares of Deoleo, the world's largest olive oil producer, fell 19% on Thursday following the announcement that Spanish rivals DCOOP and Acesur intend to acquire the company. Under the proposed terms, both firms will each hold a 50% stake in Deoleo, effectively consolidating the sector and creating a massive new industry leader based in Spain. The acquisition aims to increase global olive oil consumption and enhance value for farmers throughout the supply chain. Despite this recent decline, Deoleo has seen significant growth this year, rising approximately 55% since January due to moderating olive oil prices which have bolstered sales in the United States.
