Corona Capital: HCA Healthcare locks down, Kering needs an opening up. Catch up with the latest pandemic-related financial insights:
. Italy-based Gucci, the French conglomerate’s largest brand, is a top seller amongst Chinese consumers now returning to shopping malls after extensive lockdowns. Yet, Italy’s decision to shut plants in non-essential sectors, including fashion, in March poses a logistical challenge for Kering.
The deal is a sweet one for Roark. It gets a board seat and a 9.5% dividend, higher than The Cheesecake Factory’s regular 7.6% yield. It can also convert its preferred shares into equity at a price some 15% higher than where the stock is now, but half where it was before Covid-19 hit. 5-Star influence appears to have also led to the choice of Guido Bastianini to head bailed-out lender Monte dei Paschi di Siena, replacing ex-investment banker Marco Morelli. Bastianini led smaller Carige a year before it nearly went bust. Overall, the appointments lacked transparency. With the Covid-19 crisis likely forcing Italy to nationalise some troubled companies, such opacity risks becoming ubiquitous.
In SAP’s bombastic house style, the company said its decision to move to a “sole CEO model” was to “ensure strong, unambiguous steering in times of an unprecedented crisis”. Is ambiguous steering not always a bad thing? Bloomberg reported that two distinct power centres emerged at SAP – one in America under Morgan and one in Germany under Klein. That’s the classic outcome of putting two ferrets in a sack. The only thing unique about SAP is that its experiment unravelled in just six months.
