A Deutsche Telekom está avaliando se fundir com a T-Mobile US, numa transação que criaria a maior operadora de telefonia móvel do mundo em valor de mercado, à frente da China Mobile.

A informação foi dada em primeira mão pela Bloomberg, citando fontes a par do assunto. A agência de notícias disse que as conversas ainda são preliminares e podem não ir para frente.

A Deutsche Telekom, que já é dona de 53% da T-Mobile, vale cerca de US$ 166 bilhões na Bolsa de Frankfurt, enquanto a T-Mobile vale US$ 217 bilhões na Nasdaq. Já a China Mobile vale cerca de US$ 235 bilhões.

A discussão que está na mesa é de se criar uma nova holding que faria uma oferta em ações pela Deutsche Telekom e pela T-Mobile, com os acionistas das duas empresas se tornando acionistas da holding.

Na sequência, essa holding poderia buscar um IPO nos Estados Unidos e em uma Bolsa europeia. Segundo a Bloomberg, as duas empresas já discutiram esse tipo de operação no passado, mas as conversas não evoluíram.

A transação traria benefícios do ponto de vista de múltiplos. Hoje, a Deutsche Telekom negocia com um múltiplo muito menor que o da T-Mobile, que responde pela maior parte do lucro da controladora.

A fusão dos dois negócios poderia reduzir esse desconto, além de dar ao grupo resultante uma escala maior para potenciais novas aquisições.

Apesar dos benefícios, a aprovação da transação não será fácil, e precisará de apoio político em Berlim e Washington.

O Governo alemão é dono de 28% da Deutsche Telekom e poderia ser um obstáculo para uma transação desse tipo já que teria sua participação diluída na nova empresa, perdendo seu poder de influenciar nas decisões.

Uma das fontes disse à Bloomberg que para conseguir a aprovação do governos alemão e americano as duas companhias teriam que fazer concessões importantes, como manter uma boa parte da base do negócio na Alemanha e fazer investimentos significativos nos EUA.

"Elas também precisam convencer seus investidores de que os méritos de se criar uma multinacional de telecom maior superam os benefícios de ter duas empresas separadas e mais focadas que podem atrair investidores interessados em seus mercados específicos," diz a reportagem.

A ação da T-Mobile chegou a subir 3% no pregão de ontem, mas fechou o dia em queda de 2%. O papel cai cerca de 24% nos últimos doze meses.

Já a ação da Deutsche Telekom caiu 2,4% ontem e agora acumula uma queda de 10,3% nos últimos doze meses.
