25/10/2004 09:11 | Happy enough to be back in - the cheap stock seems to have gone. Just sit and wait now, I think. Even if the bid does not materialise, the shares are pretty cheap and should do OK in the medium term even if they fall to 170 or 180 pdq. And if the bid does pop up, well, I'll be looking at a quick turn. | pippin | |
23/10/2004 14:24 | Copied from previous thread May this year Independent Comment Comino 'a sitting duck' as software groups attract takeover attention Small Companies Notebook By Stephen Foley 04 May 2004 Comino is a "sitting duck for a takeover", our City sources tell us. The takeover of London Bridge Software by the US group Fair Isaac reminded people that Comino - whose software systems are used by housing authorities to make dealings with their tenants more efficient - attracted transatlantic interest last year from Constellation, one of the big players in social housing software in the US. Constellation eventually sold out their stake and Comino's shares have gone nowhere in the interim, despite an improving profit performance. Results are due later this month. Speculation as to who might take a pop at the business is centring on Civica, which floated in London in February and which is hunting for acquisitions. Civica is a big supplier of software to local authorities, helping to issue parking tickets, monitor bus lanes and collect taxes. What it doesn't have is a big presence in social housing ... which is where Comino would fit in. With Constellation still keeping an eye on developments and other acquisitive domestic companies also likely to be hovering around, Comino is one to watch. | johnroger | |
22/10/2004 22:01 | If there is a bid it may come from civica or across the pond | crossgate | |
22/10/2004 09:44 | well it appears the selling has stopped, just need some buying now | crossgate | |
21/10/2004 14:19 | So was the 6425 at 208! | pippin | |
20/10/2004 15:29 | Thanks crossgate - I'm watching for the same reason. Not sure what the right price is yet. | pippin | |
20/10/2004 10:12 | Well, the share price is saying something.... | pippin | |
30/9/2004 20:49 | Is the takeover going to happen?Who are they talking to? any opions? | jbarcroftr | |
09/9/2004 15:28 | Wow, wall to wall selling and still it rises. I joined the club today - it's getting too close to where I think the bid will be pitched and something could always go wrong... Best of luck with the ride, spooky. I agree completely about your volume argument. But do remember that there are arbs out there, especially US ones, who pile in to many stocks on the announcement of a bid approach | pippin | |
09/9/2004 07:34 | I didn't notice the other announcement sneaked out yesterday about the insurers coughing up. That's cleaned the company up, making it a tastier morsel. | pippin | |
09/9/2004 07:17 | Thanks for that, spooky. I take your point. Are you suggesting that the potential acquiror is picking up a chunk of the stock now, to demonstrate they are serious and also to get the shares more cheaply than if they pay the full bid price? Unlucky farsight. If you didn't work for a living, you might be better off! | pippin | |
08/9/2004 16:58 | I wish I didn't work for a living and could be around to spot this sort of thing. Sigh. | farsight | |
08/9/2004 13:41 | No,the market is willing to buy a large line of stock at this new higher price,they have a buyer.This usually indicates to me that the bid is real and will be followed up.Not foolproof but a good indication. | spooky | |
08/9/2004 13:23 | I think that the fact that Comino have engaged an advisor is a sign that talks are fairly well-advanced. (Is that what you meant by looking for size?) | pippin | |
08/9/2004 09:34 | Agreed, spooky, about the price. I wouldn't rule out a contested bid, either. Comino is the last company of its type not to be taken out yet. | pippin | |
08/9/2004 08:46 | This would appear to be a fairly serious approach,they are looking for "size" on the bid and that is normally a good indication. Time to guess a take out price,i would suggest £2.40 as a starting point,roughly 10 times revenues plus the cash,14/15 times next years expected numbers.Sounds as though that should keep both sides happy. :-) | spooky | |
08/9/2004 07:59 | Now we're getting the sales - presumably some of them from people who bought yesterday. I'm staying in to see what transpires. | pippin | |
08/9/2004 07:33 | Gosh! Weren't those people who bought in yesterday lucky! Hardly any deals for weeks and then just before the announcement people started buying. What a coincidence! I hope they've got their stories straight before the rather nasty little phone call which is likely to come shortly. | pippin | |
08/9/2004 07:23 | its in bid talks | erbullion |
