The sale of MTQ, whilst small relative to Bapcor’s scale, is consistent with the Company’s stated intention at the FY24 full-year results announcement to simplify its business, reset the cost base and exit non-core businesses.

Bapcor Executive Chair & Chief Executive Officer, Angus McKay said, “MTQ is a highly specialised business providing services that are not core to Bapcor’s offering.

In consolidating its portfolio, Bapcor will focus on growing in its core markets.”Terms of the transaction are confidential.

i hold BAP


since no sale price has been disclosed , i suspect the sale will be for a trivial ( or token ) amount , i also note that the market did not get excited with this news ( on a mostly up day )
 
Market Matters afternoon report:
  • Bapcor (BAP) -2.12% held their AGM and gave a trading update. All on track for their cost out/simplification program, though they guided to a 2H25 skew for the benefits to be realised.
  • They’re still doing it tough in the retail division, though trade volumes are holding up.
Not Held
