Atos opens 'exploratory talks' with possible investors in breakaway Evidian biz
Atos is holding"exploratory talks" with potential investors - believed to include Airbus - over taking a minority shareholding in the IT services group's breakaway security, digital and big data businesses.
The share price of Atos climbed several percent yesterday following a report by French newspaper Les Echos that preliminary discussions with the aircraft designer and maker were underway, sending the stock past the €11 mark. A corporate mouthpiece at Atos said that"the company had initiated exploratory discussions with potential future minority shareholders in the scope of activities grouped under the name of Evidian."At the aircraft manufacturer, a spokesperson for Airbus said in a statement that it would not comment on speculation. It said:"We are in constant discussion with our partners, customers and suppliers across the industry, but these conversations remain private in nature.
The other part of Atos, including Data Centre and Hosting, Digital Workplace, Unified Comms and Business Process Outsourcing, is shrinking and will be the subject of an"ambitious turnaround," the company said last summer.
