Spanish construction group ACS officially denied reports suggesting it is considering a full takeover of its German subsidiary HOCHTIEF. According to Benzinga, the company also denied potential plans for an initial public offering (IPO) of its US-based subsidiary, Turner Construction, effectively dismissing recent market rumors.
The formal denial follows reports from Bloomberg suggesting that the Spanish group was exploring a buyout of the remaining stake in its German unit. ACS currently holds a stake of over 75% in HOCHTIEF shares, and this clarification returns the corporate outlook to a status quo following a period of heightened M&A speculation.
