I've given up waiting for a second bid and sold out just above the offer price at 2084.1p Good luck to all that remain. :-)

Atkins board will be forced to make an announcement about the rise in sp, otherwise they will be breaking stock market rules with regard to witholding info. They must know why the share price has gone up past the offer price. If there is no reason then they need to say so. Either way, they're not looking credible.

Gonna get the share price bumped up a bit.

Finished above the agreed takeover price... other bidders circling perhaps?

Will be interesting to see if a counter bid emerges.

Sold for 2080p a share then.

Is that a takeover of Atkins. Must be why the share price is up. What price for Atkins share. Valued at about £1.5Bn at the moment.

Decent finals - seems no reason for the massive de-rating of this share since last Autumn

It is struggling to compete..Atkins is quite expensive when it bids for work compared to rivals and has lost work as a result. There has been consolidation in the sector with larger consulants taking over others. Atkins have not been able to do this and are not as efficient.Staff skills are hard to find and they can't get the staff they need to do the work. The skills shortage means they have over 1000 vacancies at the moment so are losing a lot of time/money that could be booked to clients. They are not offering competitive salaries either. They have tried to reduce their selling price by increasing to a 40hr week from 37.5 with minimum or no salary increase to staff. As a result a lot of their talented engineers are leaving. They did have to write off £4m last year in their failed bid for Balfour Beatty's US consultant Parsons Bickerhoff. Competition is fierce and a lot of foreign consultants are bidding and winning work in Atkins own backyard. They are also about to spend many millions building a new head office in Epsom. I'm sure their profit margins will come under pressure. They may become a target themselves. On top of this management are having an internal restructure at the moment to cope with the way things are going.
David Tonkin the CEO for UK and Europe stood down towards the end of last year.
