Highlights
Qube Holdings Limited (ASX: QUB) shares climbed nearly 3.30% at the time of writing, trading at AU$5.010 following a AU$0.160 gain.
AU$5.20 per share cash proposal at the time of writing, implying an enterprise valuation of approximately AU$11.7 billion at the time of writing.
Offer reflects a 27.8% premium to a prior reference closing price of AU$4.07 at the time of writing.
Qube Holdings Limited (ASX: QUB) recorded a share price gain of nearly 3.30% at the time of writing, trading at AU$5.010 after rising AU$0.160 during the session. The move higher reflects news that the company has signed a Scheme Implementation Deed with a Macquarie Asset Management-led consortium to purchase 100 per cent of the issued shares. The proposed offer values Qube at AU$5.20 per share at the time of writing, implying an enterprise valuation of approximately AU$11.7 billion at the time of writing.
Why Is the Market Reacting Strongly?
The AU$5.20 per share proposal represents a 27.8% premium to the company’s prior reference closing price of AU$4.07 at the time of writing, highlighting the attractiveness of the bid. The implied enterprise valuation of around AU$11.7 billion at the time of writing positions the deal as one of the more significant infrastructure-linked transactions in Australia’s logistics sector. Directors have unanimously endorsed the scheme and recommend that shareholders vote in favour, provided no superior proposal arises, and an independent expert determines the deal to be in the best interests of shareholders.
What Happens Next?
Under the proposed structure, shareholders other than UniSuper are expected to receive AU$5.20 cash per share at the time of writing, adjusted for any declared dividends. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and shareholder consent, with a meeting expected around June 2026 at the time of writing. Notably, the arrangement is not subject to financing conditions, which strengthens transaction certainty.
Single-Point Summary
Qube’s 3.30% share price rise at the time of writing reflects investor optimism about an AU$11.7 billion takeover proposal that offers a substantial premium and strong board backing.
