Quikrete 115億收購Summit,建材市場再掀波瀾!



Quikrete以115億美元收購Summit Materials

(路透社)- Summit Materials於週一宣布,競爭對手Quikrete將以115億美元的現金交易收購該公司,此舉旨在利用對建材需求的增長。

由於美國政府基礎設施支出上升,預期建材需求將持續增長,該行業的併購活動正在升溫。Summit曾表示,預計公共基礎設施將在2025年持續提供穩定的業務機會。

然而,該公司的股價一直以折扣交易,低於其同行如Vulcan Materials(NYSE: VMC)和Martin Marietta Materials(NYSE: MLM)。

據路透社報導,Quikrete在十月向Summit提出收購要約。這家混凝土製造商每股52.50美元的收購報價,較Summit在10月23日的收盤價高出約29.2%,該報告發佈前一天。

根據路透社的計算,Quikrete的收購報價在股權基礎上約為92億美元。

成立於1940年的Quikrete總部位於喬治亞州亞特蘭大,是北美最大的包裝混凝土和水泥混合物製造商之一。

總部位於科羅拉多州丹佛的Summit是一家提供水泥、預拌混凝土和瀝青等建材的供應商,並提供建築和鋪路等服務。

摩根士丹利(NYSE: MS)和Evercore擔任Summit的財務顧問,而Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP則擔任其法律顧問。

富國銀行(NYSE: WFC)則為Quikrete提供財務顧問服務,並為此次交易提供債務融資承諾。

該交易預計將在2025年上半年完成。

Summit的股價在盤前交易中下跌約2%。

分析評論

這宗交易顯示出建材行業的熱度不斷上升,尤其是在基礎設施投資增加的背景下,企業之間的併購行為將成為未來一段時間內的趨勢。Quikrete的收購不僅是對Summit的看好,還反映出市場對於建材需求的預期上升。這也意味著在未來的經濟環境中,企業將更加積極尋找擴張機會,利用整合來提升競爭力。

此外,該交易或將引發行業內其他企業的反應,可能會出現更多的併購活動,尤其是在面對相似市場條件的公司之間。這也可能影響到投資者的信心,進一步推動股市的波動。市場參與者應密切關注後續的發展,以便把握潛在的投資機會。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a cinematic studio portrait of a woman seated on a simple wooden chair with a minimalist design, positioned slightly to the left of the frame. She is captured in a contemplative pose, with her body turned to the left, her left arm resting gracefully on the back of the chair, and her right hand gently touching her face near her lips, conveying a sense of introspection and elegance. Her long, wavy hair cascades naturally over her shoulders, framing her face and adding softness to the composition. She wears an oversized, textured knit sweater that slips off her shoulders, exposing her collarbones and upper chest, emphasizing a relaxed and intimate mood. Her legs are bare, with her right foot flat on the ground and her left knee slightly raised, creating a dynamic line that guides the viewer’s eye through the composition. *** The background is a seamless, deep charcoal or dark brown studio backdrop, providing a rich, neutral setting that enhances the dramatic lighting. The lighting setup features a single, soft yet directional light source positioned to the left of the subject, casting gentle, sculptural shadows that highlight the contours of her face, shoulders, and arms, while creating a subtle gradient across her form. The light accentuates the texture of her sweater and the natural shine of her hair, adding depth and dimension to the image. The color palette is monochromatic with warm, muted tones—shades of gray, brown, and beige—contributing to a timeless, artistic aesthetic. The image is shot with a professional full-frame camera using an 85mm or 50mm lens at a wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 to achieve a shallow depth of field, ensuring the subject is in sharp focus while the background remains softly blurred. The resolution is ultra-high, capturing every detail from the fine texture of her sweater to the subtle expression of her pose. The overall style is elegant, contemplative, and refined, emphasizing mood and atmosphere over overt glamour. Post-processing is minimal, maintaining natural skin tones, enhancing contrast and clarity, and preserving the authenticity of the scene. This portrait embodies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth, making it suitable for fine art, editorial, or fashion photography. Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a girl standing beneath autumn leaves outside a traditional wooden structure in a live action photograph or movie still, wearing a complex suggestive outfit that harmonizes with the warm fall tones.

Shot and Camera
Three quarter shot at slightly low height, framing her off center to the right so the yellow leaves and carved wooden panels dominate the left. Maintain the intimate close framing and vertical orientation feel of the reference.

Identity and Pose
Preserve her age read, build, silhouette, hairstyle length, and skin tone. She leans lightly against the doorframe, one hand grazing a hanging leaf, her posture relaxed and candid, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic.

Lighting and Environment
Soft warm daylight filters through the leaves, casting dappled highlights on her hair and outfit. Ground her feet on aged wooden flooring with natural grain, faint scuffs, and subtle contact shadows.

Masking and Constraints
Change only wardrobe and placement while keeping lighting, perspective, white balance, pose, face geometry, body proportions, and silhouette the same. Absolutely no added text, no CGI look, no plastic skin, no floating feet, with consistent perspective and correct contact shadows. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel, true-to-life portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference). Create a portrait of a  fair-skinned woman with long, curly dark hair styled in a high ponytail, her head turned to the side, her expression neutral and serene; her makeup features defined eyebrows, subtle eyeliner, light blush, and glossy lips; she wears dangling earrings with a floral design; she has a piercing in her ear; the image is in ultra-high 8K resolution, showcasing detailed skin textures, crisp edges, and sharp focus on her eyes; a medium shot, taken from the side to emphasize her profile, with a shallow depth of field that softly blurs the background; soft, diffused lighting illuminates her face evenly, creating subtle shadows and highlights, with a warm color palette of soft browns and creams; she is wearing a dark strapless top; the background is a soft, neutral tone, ensuring the focus remains on the subject; no additional props are present; photorealistic style, akin to a raw camera capture, is achieved using an 85mm lens, ISO 100, and an aperture of f/2.0 for a shallow depth of field and soft background blur.
