Renault said to be seeking a merger with Nissan

“What we always said, and we still say the exact same thing, is that what we want is the alliance to be irreversible,” Renault CFO Clotilde Delbos said Friday on the company’s first quarter conference call when asked about its plans. “This is what we are pursuing collectively with Nissan.” Renault shares advanced as much as 4.3% on Friday, and had risen 2.7% to €61.18 as of 4.55pm in Paris. That would give the French car maker a market value of €18.1bn, compared with Nissan’s ¥3.77-trillion .

Both companies are struggling. Nissan this week said it will miss its annual profit goal, and Renault on Friday reported a drop in first-quarter sales. Car makers have been contending with a decline in China, the world’s biggest market, and a broader slowdown elsewhere, while a shift toward electrification is placing huge demands on investment capital.
