Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) shares tumbled more than 11% after unveiling plans to acquire a Netherlands-based coffee company for €15.7 billion. The deal, priced at a 33% premium to the target's 90-day average share price, sparked investor skepticism despite management's bullish stance on creating a 'world-leading pure-play coffee business.'
The beverage conglomerate's aggressive M&A strategy backfired as markets reacted to the premium valuation. While KDP CEO Tim Cofer framed the transaction as strategically timed, the sharp divergence from the broader market's modest 0.4% decline underscores concerns about integration risks in the volatile coffee sector.
