Reuters reveals French defense group Thales to sell signaling business; market reacts

Reuters broke the news that Thales is putting its rail signaling business up for sale in a potential deal worth 1.5 billion euros or more ($1.8 billion) as the French defense and aerospace group seeks to streamline operations.

Proceeds from the divestiture will help bolster Thales’ finances after the COVID-19 crisis dented sales and profits last year.
