ntermoney | El Gobierno italiano ha decidido no oponerse a la OPA lanzada por los Benetton y Blackstone sobre la concesionaria Atlantia, según informa el diario Cinco Días; en teoría, el ejecutivo transalpino podía haber invocado poderes especiales que mantiene sobre Atlantia y otros sectores estratégicos, algo que ha renunciado a hacer. La oferta tiene un precio de 23 euros en efectivo, lo que valora la concesionaria en unos 19.000 millones de euros. Los Benetton, a través de su vehículo Edizione, ya poseen más de un 30% del accionariado originalmente. Atlantia posee un 15% de Hochtief, de la que ACS (Comprar, Precio Objetivo 40 euros) mantiene un 53%; la concesionaría consolida globalmente Abertis, al detentar un 50% del capital, mientras que ACS mantiene el resto, del que un 20% lo hace a través de la propia Hochtief. Valoración: Esta noticia no es ninguna sorpresa, pues nos parecía que, claramente, los Benetton nunca hubiesen lanzado la OPA sin, al menos, una autorización siquiera tácita del Gobierno italiano. Pensamos que la operación tendrá éxito, por lo que hay que pensar en los pasos siguientes de la relación entre Atlantia y ACS. Creemos que uno de los acuerdos ine
