Iveco Group Acquisition: Iveco Group will be split in two transactions totaling approximately €5.5 billion, with its defense arm being acquired by Leonardo for about €1.7 billion and the remaining business sold to Tata Motors for around €3.8 billion, enhancing Tata's presence in Europe's commercial vehicle market.
Shareholder Impact and Market Trends: Shareholders are expected to receive €14.10 per share from Tata, plus a one-off dividend related to the Leonardo deal, potentially raising total proceeds to €20.10 per share; this acquisition reflects a broader trend of consolidation in the European defense sector following increased military spending due to geopolitical tensions.
