FTSE 250 movers: Diversified gains on Maverick deal; Tech stock stumble
(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 20,350.09 -0.82%
Diversified Energy announced an agreement on Monday to acquire Maverick Natural Resources, a portfolio company of EIG, for $1.275bn.
The FTSE 250 company said the acquisition would enhance its asset base, production scale, and commodity mix, while supporting its long-term strategy of generating sustainable free cash flow and shareholder returns.
It said the deal would combine complementary asset packages, bringing together Diversified's "low-decline, capital-efficient production with Maverick's liquids-rich assets".
The acquisition was expected to result in a 95% increase in revenue and a 55% rise in free cash flow, alongside improved margins and cost synergies. The combined entity would have an enterprise value of around $3.8bn and produce approximately 1,200 million cubic feet equivalent per day, or about 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Tech and tech-affected stocks were hit after Chinese AI company DeepSeek said it was launching a low-cost low-data assistant, hitting chip makers and investors alike.
Polar Capital Technology Trust and Allianz Technology Trust both fell sharply on the news.
