Las acciones de Hugo Boss se disparan en bolsa más de un 9% y rozan los 40 euros por título después de que Frasers Group, propietaria de marcas como Lonsdale, Sports Direct y Game, y accionista mayoritario de la compañía, lanzase una OPA sobre el 74% que no controla por 2.000 millones de euros, lo que supone valorar la compañía en 2.700 millones. El grupo británico ha presentado una oferta en efectivo de 38 euros por la alemana, que se traduce en una prima del 4% con respecto al cierre de los mercados el miércoles.
Desde la empresa de trajes de alta gama han asegurado que estudiarán "detenidamente" la oferta no solicitada de Frasers, que sube un 1% en bolsa. Las primeras impresiones de los analistas ven poco probable que esta operación prospere, dada la baja prima. Desde Bloomberg Intelligence defienden que "no está claro qué medidas podría adoptar Frasers para acelerar la recuperación" de la marca alemana de moda, que busca una reestructuración tras verse afectada por la débil demanda en China y la persistente debilidad de la línea de ropa femenina.
Aun así, ven poco probable que surjan ofertas competidoras alternativas, señaló el analista Felix Dennl, de Bankhaus Metzler, en una nota. El precio ofrecido también se encuentra por debajo de algunos niveles a los que el consejero delegado de Hugo Boss, Daniel Grieder, compró acciones durante su mandato, incluyendo una operación de enero de 2023 a un precio medio de 56 euros por acción y una compra de enero de 2024 a algo menos de 59 euros.
Frasers, controlada mayoritariamente por Ashley, lleva tiempo vendiendo productos de Hugo Boss tanto en sus tiendas físicas como 'online'. El año pasado, Michael Murray, consejero delegado de Frasers y yerno de Ashley, se incorporó al consejo de supervisión de Hugo Boss. La propiedad total daría a Frasers control directo sobre la estrategia y la asignación de capital, después de que ambas compañías hayan chocado en los últimos meses.
El año pasado, Frasers amenazó con votar en contra de cualquier dividendo propuesto para los accionistas de Hugo Boss y argumentaba que el efectivo debería invertirse en el crecimiento a largo plazo. También declaró que ya no apoyaba al presidente del consejo de supervisión, Stephan Sturm, una postura que revirtió el martes. Ahora ha dado marcha atrás y en el comunicado sostiene que "sigue apoyando" tanto a Sturm como a Grieder.
Los analistas de Morgan Stanley sugieren que Frasers podría estar intentando aumentar su participación sin activar una oferta pública de adquisición obligatoria, comparando la situación con la de UniCredit, que ha incrementado su participación en Commerzbank por encima del umbral del 30% sin realizar una adquisición completa. En los últimos años, la estrategia de Frasers ha girado en torno a la adquisición de participaciones significativas en otras empresas minoristas con el objetivo de influir en las decisiones de los consejos de administración. De hecho, también ha trascendido su interés por hacerse con Puma.
Su implicación ha provocado enfrentamientos con frecuencia. En una disputa con la cadena de moda rápida online Boohoo, Frasers acusó a su cofundador y presidente ejecutivo, Mahmud Kamani, de destruir el valor de la empresa e intentó destituirlo como director. También trató de impedir que Boohoo cambiara su nombre a Debenhams a principios de este año. En Hugo Boss, Grieder ha racionalizado la oferta de productos y reforzado el control de costes. Se trata de su segundo intento de reestructuración desde que asumió el cargo en 2021.

El histórico goteo de salidas a bolsa que preparan OpenAI, Anthropic y SpaceX ha provocado un 'efecto arrastre' para una nueva generación de empresas que estudian seguir sus pasos en Wall Street. Socios de los principales despachos de abogados coinciden en declaraciones a Bloomberg que, al calor de estos movimientos, se ha disparado el interés de compañías en explorar ofertas públicas iniciales (OPV).
El renovado interés supone un alivio para los grandes bufetes de la Gran Manzana que durante los últimos años han presenciado cómo las empresas retrasaban sus planes por la cautela derivada de la volatilidad de los mercados y el endurecimiento de las condiciones financieras. Ahora, los asesores legales sostienen que muchas compañías están adelantando calendarios para aprovechar una ventana de mercado que consideran favorable. "Lo que probablemente veremos es una aceleración de los plazos", señala Schuman -responsable global de mercados de capitales de Latham. Su firma participó este año en la salida a bolsa de Cerebras Systems, una de las operaciones más relevantes vinculadas al auge de la inteligencia artificial.
La fiebre gira en torno a las inminentes OPV de OpenAI, Anthropic y SpaceX. Los inversores consideran que estas compañías podrían convertirse en algunas de las mayores incorporaciones al mercado bursátil en años, lo que, naturalmente, está acentuando la atención sobre el conjunto del ecosistema 'tech'. Otras empresas como Canva, Ramp y Databricks también han manifestado interés en explorar una eventual cotización, aunque sin comprometerse a dar fechas concretas. Thomas Ivey, responsable del área corporativa de fusiones y adquisiciones de Skadden, asegura que el despacho trabaja actualmente con numerosos clientes que preparan su salto al mercado. Según explica, el interés procede de sectores tan diversos como la tecnología, las fintech, las criptomonedas, los seguros, la minería, el consumo y la salud.
Se da la circunstancia de que la recuperación de la actividad bursátil coincide con un aumento de las necesidades de financiación asociadas a la IA y a las infraestructuras que la sustentan. Según los abogados consultados, el impulso ya no se limita a compañías de software, sino que se extiende a negocios que requieren inversiones multimillonarias en centros de datos, energía, redes de transmisión, hardware y proyectos de investigación a largo plazo. "Todos estos data centers necesitan electricidad", explica Jackson O’Maley, socio de mercados de capitales de Vinson & Elkins. El abogado destaca que proyectos como nuevas redes de transmisión eléctrica o desarrollos geotérmicos exigen enormes cantidades de capital, lo que convierte al mercado bursátil en una fuente de financiación especialmente atractiva.
Pese al optimismo, los expertos advierten de que la evolución de las próximas 'megasalidas' a bolsa será determinante para el resto del mercado. Un buen comportamiento de las acciones tras el debut podría impulsar nuevas operaciones, mientras que una recepción fría por parte de los inversores tendría el efecto contrario. "Las grandes ofertas pueden mejorar el sentimiento del mercado y estimular la actividad", señala Dzierniejko. "Pero también pueden generar un entorno más cauteloso si la valoración o el comportamiento posterior decepcionan" añade.
Los principales bufetes ya se están posicionando para estas operaciones. Gibson Dunn asesora a SpaceX en lo quepodría convertirse en una de las mayores salidas a bolsa de la historia con un precio de 135 dólares por acción y la ambición de recaudar 75.000 millones de dólares (64.588 millones de euros al cambio). Por su parte, Cooley y Wachtell Lipton colaboran en los preparativos de OpenAI, mientras que Anthropic ha confiado en Wilson Sonsini para acompañar su proceso de cotización.

This year’s World Cup has more teams (48) and more host nations (3) than any previous World Cup. It’s also going to make FIFA billions of dollars, but complications including dynamic ticket pricing and mounting costs are leaving ordinary fans priced out and host cities under financial strain.
The tournament's economics are further complicated by politics. US President Donald Trump has placed himself at the center of the event, even receiving a newly invented “FIFA peace prize” from FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Meanwhile the US-Israel war with Iran has triggered an energy crisis that’s squeezing supplies of jet fuel, leading to higher prices and canceled flights for fans already wary of Trump’s immigration policies.

Hong Kong is betting its economic future on a megadevelopment spanning one-third of its territory. The multibillion-dollar Northern Metropolis project aims to turn a rural frontier of fish ponds, farmland and villages into a tech hub of cutting-edge labs and startups. The effort also will serve as a concrete-and-steel connection to Mainland China, and eventually ten other nearby cities that make up the Greater Bay Area.
But as ambitious as the Northern Metropolis may be, let alone the $2 trillion economy that will include Hong Kong and its sister cities, it is all part of a much larger, almost unfathomable transformation planned for the world’s second-largest economy. Beijing foresees 19 of these megaregions spread across the country, hoping to fuse hundreds of millions of people into urban engines of knowledge and labor.
But Hong Kong's experience may be a warning about what’s to come. As concrete swallows the landscape, it raises a critical question: is this the model for humanity’s utopian future, or that of a hyper-efficient dystopia?

SpaceX is preparing for the biggest initial public offering in history, one that could reshape markets. What began as a rocket company is now a gargantuan bet on satellites, artificial intelligence, orbital infrastructure and Mars.
With a projected valuation approaching $2 trillion, the company run by Elon Musk is already the new tech darling of Wall Street. But as investors rush to absorb SpaceX into their portfolios and retirement funds, Musk’s promises raise thorny questions about risk, market concentration and hype.
