Chevron Agrees to Acquire Noble Energy for $5B in Oil Industry Merger

by Taylor Williams

SAN RAMON, CALIF. — Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) has agreed to acquire Houston-based exploration firm Noble Energy (NASDAQ: NBL) in an all-stock transaction valued at $5 billion, or $10.38 per share. Under the terms of the agreement, Noble Energy shareholders will receive 0.1191 shares of Chevron common stock for each share of Noble Energy stock they own. Inclusive of debt, the deal carries a total enterprise value of $13 billion. The price represents a premium of roughly 12 percent on the weighted average of Noble Energy’s closing stock prices for the 10-day period ending July 17. Following the closing of the deal, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter, Noble’s shareholders will own about 3 percent of the new entity. Executives at San Ramon, Calif.-based Chevron cited access to Noble’s assets in key domestic production sites like Colorado’s D-J Basin and Texas’ Permian Basin, as well as its international facilities in Israel and West Africa, as major incentives behind the acquisition. For example, Noble’s portfolio includes nearly 92,000 contiguous acres for drilling and exploration in the Permian Basin . In addition, in June, the company was awarded exploration rights to 800,000 acres of drillable land in the Western …

NEW YORK CITY — In a move to streamline its North American operations and adapt to an evolving retail landscape that has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH) announced Tuesday that it will close all of its 162 Heritage Brands outlet stores and reduce its office workforce by approximately 450 positions, or 12 percent. PVH’s Heritage Brands include Van Heusen, Izod, Arrow, Warner’s, Olga and Geoffrey Beene. The Heritage Brands retail locations are expected to operate through mid-2021. The workforce reductions, which are spread across all three brand businesses of Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Heritage Brands, are expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $80 million. “The structural changes occurring in the North American retail landscape have required us to take a hard look at our North American operations and identify where we can optimize costs across our business model,” says Manny Chirico, chairman and CEO of PVH. “We did not take these decisions lightly, as our Heritage Brands retail business is our oldest retail business, yet no longer met appropriate return metrics.” Stefan Larsson, president of PVH, says that the COVID-19 crisis is dramatically reshaping the retail landscape for the long term …

by Alex Tostado

UNION, N.J. — Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY) plans to close 200 stores over the next two years. The Union-based company made the announcement during its earnings statement for its fiscal first quarter, which runs from March through May.

Bed Bath & Beyond reports that 90 percent of its physical locations were closed for the majority of the quarter, causing in-store sales to decline 77 percent. During the same period, sales on the digital platform grew 82 percent. “From the beginning of this crisis, we have taken measured, purposeful steps to help keep our people safe and our customers serviced, and we are proud of the way our teams have navigated this unprecedented challenge with speed and agility,” says Mark Tritton, president and CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond. “At the same time, our actions to strengthen our financial position and liquidity are enhancing our flexibility and capacity to invest and rebuild our business for long-term success.” As of May 30, Bed Bath & Beyond operated 1,478 …

COVID-19 Interruptions Are Largely Short Term for Medical Office Sales

by Kristin Harlow

By Mike Wilson, Principal, Avison Young As the commercial real estate industry shifts toward a new normal, there are several changes occurring in the medical office sector. This asset class has long been considered a safe haven, even in recessionary times, given its ties to the healthcare system and overall population growth. The onset of COVID-19 and the subsequent stay-at-home orders in many states have created challenges that also touch the medical office sector, although not nearly as deeply as other asset classes. One shift occurring is a varying level of activity among medical office tenants, depending upon whether their services are deemed essential or nonessential. Tenants in essential buildings, particularly those tied to large healthcare systems, are still seeing patient throughput activity as healthcare needs remain. Some elective surgery centers and outpatient testing facilities, however, have seen a temporary pause as medical professionals retrenched due to the state closures. Landlords in turn have had to manage rent relief requests from tenants. These changes are considered short-term and are not expected to have long-term effects on tenant activity or property investment levels. The medical office sector continues to draw the attention of a wide range of investors, due to its …

Austin: The Right Place at the Right Time for Multifamily Sector

by Sarah Daniels

“After COVID-19, nothing ever will be the same,” has become a common refrain these days. Perhaps for the next decade or so, every important life choice will be made with public health and safety concerns in mind — and the most commonly chosen solutions will be meaningfully different than before. Among the most fundamental life choices subject to this new scrutiny will be where to live, how to make a living and how to safely move about. Many Americans will opt for less densely populated neighborhoods, increased work-from-home opportunities and private transportation options. When the time arrives to put plans into action, however, most will elect to take small steps rather than a giant leap. Perhaps the high-rise apartment and subway ride to a co-working space can be sacrificed, but not at the expense of convenience, access to nightlife and entertainment and career prospects. Urbanity isn’t out of style, but its form will mutate. Some U.S. metros will struggle to adapt, including a few primary markets. Others seem to be attuned to the times, blessed with all of the now prized attributes already in place. None is more perfectly positioned than Austin. Austin checks all the boxes. It is less …
