Alstom’s board to decide on possible offer for Bombardier rail business: report GlobeBusiness

French TV station BFM reported on its website that Alstom was set to make a firm offer for Bombardier’s Berlin-based rail division. It said Bombardier opened its books to Alstom for due diligence after finding Alstom’s first offer attractive. A deal would help Montreal-based Bombardier improve its financial footing. It faces higher-than-expected-costs in its rail division and $9.7 billion in outstanding debt, according to Refinitiv data. An acquisition would help Alstom compete more effectively against Chinese giant CRRC Corp..
