UPS Shareholders Should Applaud The Acquisition Of TNT - Seeking Alpha
UPS shareholders should applaud the deal if it is able to buy TNT at 9 euros. The valuation is about 0.7 times annual revenues vs. a multiple of 1.4 times for UPS. Furthermore, annual synergies in the range of $400 million per year could be expected.
From a strategic point of view, UPS has a one-time chance to expand its European market share from 7.7% to 17.3%, making it a close competitor of German DHL which has a market share of 17.6%
It would create a duopoly in Europe, as Fedex has a mere 3.3% market share in Europe.
