Quick Glance: Prysmian Discovers Vibrant US Solution for Gloomy Cable Outlook
  • Italian cable maker Prysmian is once again in expansion mode, having agreed to acquire smaller U.S. rival Encore Wire for about $4.2 billion.

  • While the purchase price is steep, the stronger presence in the more attractive North American market is expected to inject vitality into the slightly dimmer cable sector outlook.

  • Prysmian expects the acquisition to result in annual savings of around 140 million euros, contributing significantly to an increase in EBITDA.

  • Expanding into the U.S. could help Prysmian reignite its electrification journey, given the less fragmented market compared to Europe and the need for upgrades in the outdated U.S. distribution grids.
