Czechoslovak Group has selected Commerzbank AG, Deutsche Bank ( DB ) , Erste Group Bank AG and Morgan Stanley ( MS ) to work in junior roles on a possible initial public offering that could raise 3 billion euros ($3.53 billion) or more, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The Prague-based defense firm, known as CSG, is stepping up preparations for a listing after revenues surged on demand for ammunition and combat vehicles during the war in Ukraine, the report said.

Erste Group Bank AG declined to comment, while Czechoslovak Group, Commerzbank AG, Deutsche Bank AG ( DB ), and Morgan Stanley ( MS ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
