Acciona, a Spanish builder, bought 10 percent of Endesa, the countryÂs biggest power company, for 3.4 billion euros ($4.3 billion), throwing a new twist into a takeover battle for Endesa. Acciona said it did not plan to make a takeover bid, but it did not rule out increasing its stake. The 10 percent share matches that of EndesaÂs largest shareholder, Caja Madrid. Endesa is the target of competing takeover bids from E.On of Germany and Gas Natural of Spain. The price Acciona paid for its stake, 32 euros a share, is 26 percent more than E.OnÂs bid, a factor that might force E.On to raise its bid or to withdraw because of the high price, analysts said.
