- Raizen IPO could become the largest of the Sao Paulo exchange.
- The offer is expected to attract investors looking for sustainability.
- One of the destinations of the capital raised should be towards 2G ethanol and biomass pellets.
Second big move from Raizen this year
- After buying Biosev earlier this year, Raizen now pushes to raise capital via an IPO for expansion.
- Roughly 17% of the cane crushed in CS Brazil each year could be processed by Raizen and soon could be even more.
- According to the preliminary prospect submitted, the capital raised will be used for new mills, expanding biofuel production capacity, 2G ethanol, biomass pellets production, and expansion of current units.
- The IPO is expected to raise between BRL10-13bi, if on the north side of the estimate it could be the largest IPO of the Brazilian stock exchange.
- Although no figures were disclosed as to multiples for the operation, we believe values should be close of the one from Jalles Machado earlier this year.
- This goes to show that there are groups looking to expand, it just is not the reality for most of the CS.
