Wendel Considers Acquisition of Committed Advisors
Wendel has announced that it is in exclusive negotiations to acquire a majority stake in Committed Advisors, a company specializing in the secondary Private Equity market.
According to the press release, Wendel's fully diluted Net Asset Value (NAV) stood at €163.0 per share as of September 30, 2025, marking a decrease of 2.8% compared to the June 2025 period. This decline was primarily attributed to the decrease in Bureau Veritas' stock. Conversely, the valuation of Wendel Investment Managers increased by 2.6%, driven by the evolution of multiples and aggregates. Wendel also completed the sale of 23.3 million Bureau Veritas shares, generating approximately €591 million.

Strengthening Market Position and Financial Strategy

With a Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio of 13.8% as of September 30, 2025, and available cash of €2.4 billion, Wendel aims to maintain its Investment Grade rating. The company also commits to paying an interim dividend of €1.50 per share, payable in November 2025.
