A little-known trucking company surges nearly 58% after Volkswagen makes a surprise offer to buy

Hardly a household name, truck manufacturer Navistar’s stock rose to sudden popularity Thursday, continuing into Friday’s pre-market trading. Shares surged as much as 57.7% Friday after Volkswagen’s trucking arm, Traton, made an unsolicited offer to buy the company for $US2.9 billion, or $US35 per share, Thursday. Volkswagen, which already owns a 16.76% stake in Navistar, said it would pay entirely in cash. The two companies are some of the biggest in the truck-making industry. But to make the acquisition, Volkswagen will have to get the blessing of activist investor Carl Icahn: The billionaire’s fund owns about 17% of Navistar’s outstanding stock, making Icahn Navistar’s single largest shareholder. The offer comes at a time when the broader trucking manufacturing industry is in a slump, with new orders in decline, The Wall Street Journal previously reported. In its most recent earnings, Navistar’s fourth quarter revenue declined versus the year prior. The stock started the year sliding downwards after it trailed…
