Gerresheimer shares jump as activist investor buys over 5% stake
Adds investor comment in paragraph 6, analyst comments in paragraphs 8-9
By Isabel Demetz and Marleen Kaesebier
Oct 9 (Reuters) -Gerresheimer's GXIG.DE shares rose as much as 6.8% on Wednesday after a regulatory filing showed activist investor Ricky Chad Sandler had bought a 5.43% stake in German medical packaging maker.
The shares were trading 4% higher by 1250 GMT after the stake was disclosed late on Tuesday.
Dialogue between Sandler, the founder of activist investor Eminence Capital, and Gerresheimer's management had been ongoing since June, a spokesperson for the German group said.
"We don't know their agenda," the spokesperson added, but said Gerresheimer did not have an impression that Sandler was looking at an activist agenda.
Eminence Capital was not immediately available for comment.
"This stake might pressure Gerresheimer into improving its communication and probably also its structure," Christian Reindl from Union Investment, which holds a 1.3% stake in the German group, told Reuters.
Gerresheimer in late September cut its annual outlook for the second time this year as it reported preliminary third quarter results, sending its shares tumbling 18% in a single day.
Oliver Metzger, an analyst at ODDO BHF, said Gerresheimer's communication about its guidance had damaged investors' trust in the company.
"It can be positive that active investors put some higher pressure on the company," Metzger added.
Gerresheimer will report its full quarterly results on Thursday.
