Arcosa, Inc. Completes Sale of Inland Barge Business for $450 Million
Expected Stock impact: Noticeably Positive
On April 1, 2026, Arcosa, Inc. announced the successful completion of the sale of its inland barge business, Arcosa Marine Products, Inc., to Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. for a total cash consideration of $450 million, subject to customary transaction adjustments. This strategic divestiture is part of Arcosa's ongoing efforts to simplify its portfolio and focus on its core growth platforms, particularly in construction materials and engineered structures. The company plans to utilize the net after-tax proceeds from this transaction to invest in the expansion of its primary business segments and to reduce its outstanding debt. Antonio Carrillo, President and CEO of Arcosa, emphasized that this sale marks a significant milestone for the company, as it aims to enhance its overall margin profile and long-term resilience. The divestiture is expected to allow Arcosa to concentrate fully on sectors poised to benefit from infrastructure and power market tailwinds in the U.S. market. In conjunction with this sale, Arcosa also completed the acquisition of a central Florida-based natural aggregates operation for $60 million, which is anticipated to be margin accretive. Following the completion of the barge sale, Arcosa will update its full-year 2026 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance, as the financial results from the divested business will be reported as discontinued operations. Wells Fargo acted as the financial advisor for this transaction, while Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP served as legal counsel.
