First Reserve digs deep for £300m Weir arm

Buyout firm First Reserve is bidding for the Glasgow-headquartered Weir’s Flow Control arm, Sky News understands.

The FTSE-250 engineer Weir Group is closing in on a £300m-plus sale of a division which supplies pumps and valves to the global energy and power sectors.

Sky News understands that First Reserve Management, a US-based private equity firm, is among a number of bidders for Weir's Flow Control unit.

An auction of the business, which has been underway for several months, is likely to conclude in the next few weeks.

Sources said that at least one other financial investor was also competing to buy the Flow Control division from Glasgow-headquartered Weir.

The disposal of the business was triggered by Weir's $1.3bn takeover of ESCO Corporation, a market leader in surface mining tools, last year.

Looks like Schlumberger outlook may have spooked the sector..


Schlumberger Ltd posted stronger-than-expected four quarter revenues Friday, and declared a 50 cent share dividend, even as it cautioned that recent oil price volatility has added more uncertainty into its 2019 outlook.

"Looking forward to 2019, we expect a more positive supply- and demand-balance sentiment to lead to a gradual recovery in the price of oil over the course of the year, as the OPEC and Russia cuts take full effect," CEO Paal Kibsgaard said. 'In the meantime, the recent oil price volatility has introduced more uncertainty around the E&P spending outlook for 2019, with customers generally taking a more conservative approach at the start of the year."

'For Schlumberger, this means that even with the current oil prices, we expect solid, single-digit growth in the international markets while in North America land, the increased cost of capital and focus on aligning investments closer to free cash flow has introduced more uncertainty to the outlook for both drilling and production activity."

Have they geared up the balance sheet just at the wrong time?,
think that's what the market may be questioning?.

Ah..

Weir Group was also under the cosh after a its price target was cut from 1,900p to 1,800p at Credit Suisse, though it was resumed at 'neutral' by Goldman Sachs who argued that the headwinds currently weighing on the stock should ease in 2019.
