Alfa Laval has agreed to acquire NAVTOR for $700 million, or SEK 6.85 billion, paying all cash. According to TradingView, the deal is expected to close in Q1 2027 after customary regulatory approvals.
The company expects the acquisition to be neutral to group margin in the short term, though no quantified earnings contribution was given. The release also said protection against pre-acquisition liabilities has been deferred, as NAVTOR has reported compliance matters.
