Agnelli family reportedly in talks to sell Iveco
The Agnelli family's investment firm, Exor, has been approached by India's Tata Motors, which has shown interest in acquiring a controlling stake in the Iveco Group, sources familiar with the matter told the publication.
Iveco, which specialises in the production of trucks, buses, and engines, has a market capitalisation of approximately €4.2bn ($4.9 billion) and is considered one of the smaller players among Europe's truck manufacturers.
The potential sale would not include Iveco's defence division, Iveco Defence Vehicles, which the company has previously announced plans to divest by the end of 2025, the report added.
This segment has garnered interest from various parties, with offers that could value the division at up to €1.9bn.
Exor, which oversees the Agnelli family's investments, holds a 27.1% stake in Iveco, equating to 43.1% of the voting rights.
The Italian government has previously intervened in the sale of the company, blocking a bid from Chinese firm FAW in 2021. Since then, Iveco has been spun off from CNH Industrial and operates as an independent entity.
The company employs roughly 36,000 people worldwide, with a significant portion of its workforce based in Italy.
Any transaction involving Iveco is expected to be scrutinised under Italy's 'golden power' legislation, which allows the government to influence deals that involve strategically important companies.
The discussions between the Agnelli family and potential buyers, including Tata Motors, have not been previously reported.
As the talks progress, the outcome could lead to a notable shift in the European automotive landscape.
The news of these discussions has had an immediate impact on Iveco's stock value, which experienced a significant increase on the Milan stock exchange, closing 8.3% higher on 18 July.
As the news broke, Italian trade unions called for a meeting with Industry Minister Adolfo Urso to discuss the implications for the company's future.

Asian shares are mixed after Wall Street sets more records for US stocks
BANGKOK (AP) — Stock markets in Asia were mixed on Monday after U.S. stocks rose to more records as they closed out another winning week. U.S. futures and oil prices were higher ahead of trade talks in Stockholm between U.S. and Chinese officials. European futures rose after the European Union forged a deal with the Trump administration calling for 15% tariffs on most exports to the U.S. The agreement announced after President Donald Trump and European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen met briefly at Trump's Turnberry golf course in Scotland staves off far higher import duties on both sides that might have sent shock waves through economies around the globe. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index lost 1% to 41,056.81 after doubts surfaced over what exactly the trade truce between Japan and U.S. President Donald Trump, especially the $550 billion pledge of investment in the U.S. by Japan, will entail. Terms of the deal are still being negotiated and nothing has been formalized in writing, said an official, who insisted on anonymity to detail the terms of the talks. The official suggested the goal was for a $550 billion fund to make investments at Trump's direction. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index gained 0.4% to 25,490.45 while the Shanghai Composite index lost 0.2% to 3,587.25. Taiwan's Taiex rose 0.3%. CK Hutchison, a Hong Kong conglomerate that's selling ports at the Panama Canal, said it may seek a Chinese investor to join a consortium of buyers in a move that might please Beijing but could also bring more U.S. scrutiny to a geopolitically fraught deal. CK Hutchison's shares fell 0.6% on Monday in Hong Kong. Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea's Kospi was little changed at 3,195.49, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.3% to 8,688.40. India's Sensex slipped 0.1%. Markets in Thailand were closed for a holiday. On Friday, the S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 6,388.64, setting an all-time for the fifth time in a week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.5% to 44,901.92, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.2%, closing at 21,108.32 to top its own record. Deckers, the company behind Ugg boots and Hoka shoes, jumped 11.3% after reporting stronger profit and revenue for the spring than analysts expected. Its growth was particularly strong outside the United States, where revenue soared nearly 50%. But Intell fell 8.5% after reporting a loss for the latest quarter, when analysts were looking for a profit. The struggling chipmaker also said it would cut thousands of jobs and eliminate other expenses as it tries to turn around its fortunes. Intel, which helped launch Silicon Valley as the U.S. technology hub, has fallen behind rivals like Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices while demand for artificial intelligence chips soars. Companies are under pressure to deliver solid growth in profits to justify big gains for their stock prices, which have rallied to record after record in recent weeks. Wall Street has zoomed higher on hopes that President Donald Trump will reach trade deals with other countries that will lower his stiff proposed tariffs, along with the risk that they could cause a recession and drive up inflation. Trump has recently announced deals with Japan and the Philippines, and the next big deadline is looming on Friday, Aug. 1. Apart from trade talks, this week will also feature a meeting by the Federal Reserve on interest rates. Trump again on Thursday lobbied the Fed to cut rates, which he has implied could save the U.S. government money on its debt repayments. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has said he is waiting for more data about how Trump's tariffs affect the economy and inflation before making a move. The widespread expectation on Wall Street is that the Fed will wait until September to resume cutting interest rates. In other dealings early Monday, U.S. benchmark crude oil gained 24 cents to $65.40 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, also added 24 cents to $67.90 per barrel. The dollar rose to 147.72 Japanese yen from 147.71 yen. The euro slipped to $1.1755 from $1.1758.

As of 10:30 AM, the shares were trading 3.84% higher at Rs 1,727.00.

Why are Lodha shares down nearly 6% today? Know More
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 28, 2025, 09:37 IST Shares of Lodha Developers Ltd. slumped nearly 6% in early trade on Monday to ₹1,203, despite the company posting a robust 42% year-on-year jump in consolidated net profit to ₹675 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Mumbai-based real estate giant had reported a profit of ₹475 crore in the same quarter last year. Consolidated revenue also saw a healthy rise to ₹3,624 crore from ₹2,918 crore in Q1 FY25. Pre-sales for the quarter reached ₹4,450 crore, up 10% YoY, slightly below potential due to the temporary impact of the India-Pakistan crisis in May, according to Executive Director S.K. Modi. Still, the company reiterated its FY26 guidance of a 20% annual growth in pre-sales. During the quarter, Lodha launched projects worth ₹8,300 crore, mostly in Mumbai, including premium projects in Juhu and Alibaug, and additional launches in Bengaluru. The company has already achieved 90% of its business development guidance of ₹25,000 crore for the fiscal year and expects more activity in the festive quarters (Q3 and Q4), with the current quarter limited to phased rollouts of existing developments. Despite the strong financials and operational performance, the stock's decline on Monday may be attributed to profit booking by investors following the recent run-up.
