After two failed attempts, EssilorLuxottica has finally won the legal battle against GrandVision. While the French-Italian giant now has the option to pull the plug on the deal without paying any penalties, we believe it would instead go-ahead with the deal but at a lower price. Importantly, EssilorLuxottica now has an upper hand to renegotiate terms and, considering that GrandVision is no longer in a position to dictate the terms, it might agree a lower price.
