Bid of 680p this week

I bought in when the takeover rumour caused me to take a look at the chart.Some value to be had even without a takeover.

Offer exceeding 120bn equates to over 615p p/s

[big7ime] 12/3/2017 12:00

I like the chart, growth prospects and good div.

Talk of a 120bn takeover would mean a share price of around 615p and I don't think they'd get it at that price. I'm holding.

More likely TLW will get taken out first.

[big7ime] 12/3/2017 01:12

Are James Hipwell and Anil Bhoyrul (the infamous 'City Slickers' from the Daily Mirror Dec 2005) out of jail? Are they working for the Evening Standard now?

While a bid for BP can’t be ruled out, reports about Exxon’s interest have been around for years and analysts from Macquarie Capital Ltd. to Canaccord Genuity said a deal was unlikely.

M&A talk bubbles up in oil

The Evening Standard reports on a rumour that ExxonMobile has felt out BP's largest shareholders on a potential takeover.

Shares of BP are nearly 4% higher on the rumour.

With a market cap of more than $100B and a reasonable premium, it would probably be the second or third largest takeover of all time. It would also create a large inflow into GBP from USD.

The Evening Standard said Shell could launch a counter bid that would keep BP British and also reports that Chevron could be interested.

A BP spokesman said he had no comment on the rumour.

Reported in the city as gossip, BP to release statement weekend / close of trade. Main target as cheap with it's assets, with exchange rates would be a snip, though big institute share holders of BP would need to be convinced. Await the weekend news. Buy and hold.
