Prysmian to acquire US electrical firm Atkore in $3.8 billion deal

Italian cable maker Prysmian S.p.A. announced an agreement to buy U.S.-based electrical products maker Atkore Inc. for $95 per share in cash, giving the transaction an implied enterprise value of about $3.8 billion. The offer represents roughly a 23% premium to Atkore’s 90‑day volume‑weighted average share price as of July 31.

The acquisition will expand Prysmian’s North American footprint, creating a one‑stop shop for electrification, AI‑driven infrastructure projects and data‑center construction. Atkore reported fiscal‑2025 revenue of $2.85 billion, EBITDA of $386 million and employs roughly 5,400 people worldwide.

Prysmian expects the deal to generate about $150 million of pre‑tax synergies per year within three years. Pro‑forma fiscal‑2025 results for the combined entity would be €22.1 billion ($25.5 billion) in revenue and €2.7 billion in adjusted EBITDA. The transaction has been unanimously approved by both boards and is slated to close by the end of 2026, subject to shareholder approval and regulatory clearances. Atkore’s shares surged roughly 28% in pre‑market trading following the announcement.
