Bond Refinancing and Upgraded Recommendation by Goldman Sachs
The company announced this Monday the launch of a bond refinancing operation aimed at optimizing its debt structure. The operation includes the issuance of new bonds and a partial tender offer on existing lines. The stated goal is to strengthen the balance sheet of the customer relations specialist. Concurrently, Goldman Sachs has raised its price target on TELEPERFORMANCE from €60 to €67, while maintaining a neutral opinion.
