Sign InIn a move reflecting a robust expansion strategy in European markets, Alimentation Couche-Tard has announced plans to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Poland's Żabka Group. This transaction, executed via a voluntary tender offer, aims to establish a controlling position in one of Europe's leading convenience and digital retail platforms. This marks the largest acquisition in Couche-Tard's history, significantly expanding its footprint within the Polish market.
According to reports, the transaction represents a total equity value of approximately $8.6 billion (PLN 32.62 billion), with an offer price of PLN 32.00 per share. The acquisition is expected to create a combined entity with illustrative pro forma revenue of approximately $83.9 billion based on the last twelve months of performance. This follows a strong period for Żabka Group, which generated $7.4 billion in revenue and approximately $0.3 billion in net profits for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2026.
Regarding market performance, ANCTF stock stood at $64.17 (close July 30, 2026), trading within a daily range of $63.62 to $64.39 per market data. Investors are closely monitoring the impact of this massive expansion on future profit margins, while the upcoming economic calendar shows no direct corporate catalysts for the instrument in the next seven days.
