Recordati S.p.A. (ISIN IT0003828271) closed at EUR 52.37 in Milan on September 21, 2026, gaining 1.6 percent as acceptance of the takeover offer reached 49.6 percent. The combination of a price near the offer economics and a threshold close to majority ownership makes the tender process the immediate driver for the shares.
Takeover acceptance nears majority
According to ad-hoc-news.de on September 21, 2026, acceptance of the offer stood at 49.6 percent. That leaves 50.4 percent outside the reported acceptance total, so the next disclosures on participation and governance remain material to the share price.
The Milan close of EUR 52.37 represented a 1.60 percent increase from the previous trading day. The shares changed hands at 5:35 p.m. local time, providing a completed-session reference rather than an intraday estimate.
Half-year growth supports the case
For the first six months of 2026, Recordati reported consolidated revenue growth in the mid-single-digit to low-double-digit range versus the first half of 2025, according to the company information summarized by ad-hoc-news.de. Operating profit and net income also increased in the six-month period compared with the same period of 2025.
That comparison gives the takeover story an operating counterweight: the stock is not being assessed only against the offer process, but also against a business that expanded revenue, operating profit and net income in the first half of 2026. The reported growth range is qualitative rather than a single percentage, so the acceptance rate remains the clearest current numerical measure of the transaction.
