Mobico Group (LSE:MCG) has made notable strides in divesting its North America School Bus business to I Squared Capital for up to $608 million. The transaction is awaiting final approval from the US Surface Transportation Board, expected by early July 2025, with the deal anticipated to close later that month.
The sale is set to provide Mobico with substantial funds to address upcoming debt maturities and bolster its liquidity position. Meanwhile, the company forecasts its Adjusted Operating Profit for FY 2025—excluding contributions from the School Bus division—between £180 million and £195 million.
Despite ongoing financial challenges marked by sustained losses and elevated leverage, Mobico’s strategic divestment and recent contract wins offer pathways toward recovery. However, bearish technical trends and valuation pressures continue to weigh on investor sentiment.
