but volume a bit bigger today

Cheshire-based Brammer drifted 5.25p lower to 158.25p along with the general trend, but word is Bunzl could be ready to swoop. The stock has rallied from a January low of 136p on talk a predator could strike on the company which has wheeled out a depressing three profit warnings over the past 12 months. Following the last warning in November, analysts slashed 2015 earnings forecasts by £4.5m to £28m.

Brammer supplies thousands of different parts for industry, from ball bearings to gear boxes and tools. It generates about 60pc of its sales from Europe, but the collapse in the oil price has reduced demand for industrial parts among oil and gas customers throughout the Nordic region.

Dealers have heard that Bunzl would love to get its hands on Invend, Brammer’s fully managed industrial vending machines business. By late October, more than 1100 vending machines had been installed across 16 countries. Brammer has a market capitalisation of around £204m, and a cash bid slightly north of £2 a share would probably gain acceptance from major shareholders. Unfortunately, even if it does bolt-on Brammer, Bunzl’s new boss will still have to put up with the ‘boring’ tag

Results next week 8th I think... Think rise is likely down to possible bid as the results are largely known from trading update.

Really hope there is an offer on the way from BUNZL!

[toffeeman] 01/3/2016 17:20

Apparently Bunzl want Brammer's Invend

If they go in at 300 they should get it

[broadwood] 01/3/2016 16:10

Nothing to do with normal trading - this is a speculative bounce.

[toffeeman] 01/3/2016 16:04

November gap now closed

but still jack volume

close above 240 is what I would like to see

[broadwood] 01/3/2016 15:19

Someone may have to confirm or deny soon,

[broadwood] 01/3/2016 15:17

Something's cookin'

[broadwood] 01/3/2016 14:42

Up again so far.

What's the rumour?

[toffeeman] 29/2/2016 16:33

Nice rise - shame about the volume and hasn't quite closed the gap from November and then it's got to get through 230 to look tasty - so way to go.

[redartbmud] 15/2/2016 18:07

Sale of the century then.

[toolsmoker] 15/2/2016 15:38

[toffeeman] 13/11/2015 12:54

[toffeeman] 11/11/2015 17:23

Around 1.5m in meaty O trades reported 14.15-15.00 - let's hope that's Black Rock buying back from earlier in the day!

BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited Brammer plc 1.39
Numeric Investors LLC Brammer plc 0.68
