Nexi stock jumps on Boliden deal for control

Nexi stock (ISIN IT0005366767) reacts to a control transaction dated August 27, 2026, after Votorantim agreed to sell its controlling stake to Boliden in a share-for-share exchange.
Control changes hands
Under the agreement, Votorantim will receive 0.250 newly issued Boliden shares for each Nexi share, and Boliden is expected to hold 64.68% of Nexi's total shares and voting rights once the deal closes. The press release says the transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to corporate and regulatory approvals.
The same filing says Nexi is expected to remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange and continue to report under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 after closing.
Trading sits below the prior close
On August 27, 2026, Nexi traded at EUR 4.411, down 1.34% from EUR 4.471 in the prior session shown in Borsa Italiana's daily performance table. The same table also showed the name inside the FTSE MIB list for the day.
That move follows a recent stretch in which the share price was EUR 4.402 on August 24, 2026 in the Marketscreener quote view, after a five-day change of +4.61% and a month-to-date gain of +3.77%. The chart view adds a second reference point for the stock's short-term range.
Revenue and margins
The latest earnings transcript in the search results is for Q1 FY2026, where Nexi reported net revenue of EUR 821 million, underlying growth of 5%, and a stable EBITDA margin of 48.3%.
That quarter was presented on May 7, 2026, and management reaffirmed full-year guidance while pointing to a second-half growth acceleration. For investors, the deal now lands on top of a business that was already defending margins rather than chasing volume.
Zinc at the core
Nexa's release describes the business as a large-scale, low-cost, integrated polymetallic producer with zinc as its main product, and says it owns and operates five mines and three smelters in Latin America.
The product mix still matters because the transaction keeps the operating company intact while shifting control at the shareholder level.
Share level to watch
As of August 27, 2026, the stock context is EUR 4.411 in the FTSE MIB daily table, with the prior session at EUR 4.471 and a five-day move of +4.61% in the chart view.
The control deal, the 64.68% expected stake for Boliden, and Q1 FY2026 revenue of EUR 821 million now give Nexi a fresh corporate backdrop that is more specific than the usual payments story.
