↓ -3%The European Commission has approved the joint acquisition of Ebury by Santander and Centerbridge. Ebury is an international payments fintech company currently owned by the Spanish bank. Brussels determined that the transaction, which primarily affects banking and financial services, "does not raise concerns." The deal will see joint control of the payments company shared between Santander and US-based Centerbridge. The approval from the European Commission clears a key regulatory hurdle for the transaction. No financial details of the deal were disclosed in the announcement.
DataVita has secured a £300 million debt facility to expand and build two data centres in Scotland's North Lanarkshire AI Growth Zone. The financing, backed by a £202 million guarantee from the National Wealth Fund, comes from a syndicate including ING, ABN AMRO, Santander, the Scottish National Investment Bank and Siemens Financial Services. The investment will expand DataVita's existing DV1 data centre and fund construction of a new facility, DV3. Both are contracted to AI cloud firm CoreWeave under a 15-year lease. The developments will create around 600 construction jobs and approximately 100 permanent high-skilled positions. DataVita, Scotland's largest independent data centre operator, has served the country's digital infrastructure for over ten years. The project marks the National Wealth Fund's first support for domestic compute capacity, aligning with the government's Compute Roadmap and Scotland's AI strategy.
General Motors has secured a $4.5 billion financing arrangement to strengthen its supply chain and ensure critical component availability. The deal involves Procura Auto Parts, JPMorgan Chase, and Banco Santander, which will prepay selected suppliers on GM's behalf. GM will reimburse Procura using formal payment promises after parts are used in production, with repayment required no later than 31 July 2029. The automaker will pay interest, an agreed premium, and an annual fee on unused funds. The arrangement addresses supply vulnerabilities following years of industry-wide disruptions involving semiconductors, rare earths, and wire harnesses. It reflects GM's broader effort to diversify sourcing amid US tariffs and reduced reliance on Chinese suppliers. GM established the arrangement on Friday.
Jim Cramer has repeatedly endorsed Banco Santander (NYSE:SAN) as a top European banking stock in 2025. In February, he said the bank was "on track to become one of the most profitable banks in the world", targeting 20% return on tangible equity by 2028. Santander's shares have gained 67% over the past year and 19.7% year-to-date. The bank reported €8.97 billion in net income for H1 2026, up 31% annually, driven by a 2.71% net interest margin and 12 million new customers. However, bears question whether the current valuation can sustain high expectations. Santander's forward P/E ratio of 12.18 has risen from 8.64 a year ago. Regional weakness in Brazil, where second-quarter profit fell 17.6%, has also raised concerns about maintaining strong performance across all markets.
Molins has completed a syndicated financing and bond issuance to partially fund its acquisition of Portuguese company Secil. Through subsidiary Molins Finance, the company secured €680 million in sustainability-linked syndicated financing in March, led by BBVA and CaixaBank with other international institutions. The transaction included a €500 million bridge-to-bond facility led by Banco Santander and J.P. Morgan, expected to be repaid with bond proceeds. Cuatrecasas advised the syndicate of financial institutions and initial purchasers on the deal. The two-phase transaction represents a significant financing milestone for Molins as it expands through the Secil acquisition.
