Shares in Spanish steelmaker Acerinox SA are in the red on
Friday after a large shareholder sold part of its stake at a
discount.
Nippon Steel Corp. has halved its holding in the company,
selling a 7.9% stake for around 218.1 million euros ($259.7
million). This corresponds to EUR10.20 for each of the roughly 21.4
million shares it sold. The price of the placement is below
Acerinox's closing price on Thursday, which was EUR10.82.
Acerinox shares fall 5.6% in European morning trade to EUR10.22,
roughly in line with the price buyers paid for Nippon's stake.
"The news is negative for Acerinox," Renta 4 Banco analyst Cesar
Sanchez-Grande said, adding that the sale of Nippon's remaining
stake is likely after the lock-up period. The Japanese company
still has a 7.9% stake in Acerinox.
The news comes at a bad time for the Spanish company, as it hit
the stock in a period marked by significant improvement in the
company's results, he said.
