Sodexo would also need to secure the funds for such a sizable acquisition, the report added.
'The move in Aramark's share price yesterday would suggest that Sodexo will have to pay up for the shares,' Morningstar analyst Michael Field said on Thursday.Sodexo's shares fell 7 percent by 0810 GMT , among the worst performers on Europe's benchmark STOXX 600 index.Earlier in the session, they touched their lowest price since late February at 68.10 euros per share.
