KNDS IPO reportedly called off as French state stake talks take centre stage
Original: knds
German-French defence group KNDS is reportedly abandoning its planned stock market flotation, with attention shifting instead to a possible entry by the French state into the company's shareholding. KNDS, formed from the merger of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Nexter, is a major player in European defence, producing tanks and artillery including the Leopard 2 and Caesar systems. Observers are weighing what a state involvement would mean for the group's future strategy.
Why now: Reports that the anticipated IPO is off and that the French state may take a stake have put the Franco-German defence maker back in the news.
