Back to £4 more likely!

[bungo2] 12/5/2009 09:14

[kbass] 06/5/2009 09:24

[kbass] 18/4/2009 08:35

If the Barclays bros want to sell we'd be seeing a drop surely.

On FT Alphaville they mentioned a £10 bid from Barclays so conflicting information. We have been here before when there was talk of bid from Barclays bros for around £14! Noise or something sustantial afoot - time will tell.

Certainly worth keeping a eye on this one on more and more bid rumours.

Taken from crazy company page...

20-03-09 20.03.09: -4, (547.5) an article in the Times reports: Intercontinental Hotels rose 41.5p to 554p on high volume amid talk that the Barclay brothers might be looking to engineer a bid to allow them to sell their 10% stake. ............ends

Id noticed a move up in volume over the last few days and a few B/B rumours and now we get this from the Times.

You could use the remaining freeholds and Boston to repay the loan. The stock is cheap but this is the age without heroes and full of disbelief.

I reckon the sum of the parts of IHG is greater than the value of the whole at its current share price. Inevitably someone with the clout to buy this at a third of its peak price will be looking at a massive return as the enonomy turns in a few years and by slicing and dicing up the group to extract value.

[malcolme2] 20/3/2009 14:23

Dancin Pirhana, IHG must be benfiting from the slump in the pound, this may offset discounting or lower occupancy rates.

Saw this on FT's Alphaville yesterday:

NH: Rumours of a £10 a share bid for Intercontinental Hotels Group
NH: not sure how seriously I would take that
NH: barclay brothers said to be the buyers
NH: again treat with care

[bungo2] 19/3/2009 16:14

any news/rumours about?

[dancing piranha] 04/3/2009 17:33

But not today, lol!!!

[dancing piranha] 03/3/2009 16:49

wipo,

They may appear busy to you, but how often do you stay with them?? How much discount are they giving clients that are staying with them?? A large hotel can still look busy with 50% occupancy!

I used to run a hotel reservations company a few years back, until 9/11!! Altho a different senario at present, with dwindling business/leisure traffic, this is a raging sell IMO!!

[wipo1] 03/3/2009 13:30

DP - I would be carefull going short, IHG hotels are still very busy anytime I go.

[dancing piranha] 02/3/2009 17:06

Short, target 400p!

[colinio] 16/2/2009 22:15

IHG PLC will announce our Preliminary Results on 17 February 2009, at 7.00am

Hope the results are positive altough very doubtful judging by the recent price drop lately

[xk] 13/2/2009 13:31

fall ahead of results announcement on 17-Feb...doesn't look very good with the arabs reducing their stake ahead of the announcement!

[colinio] 12/2/2009 13:35

why the fall today?

looking to go long

[bonzo1] 12/2/2009 12:38

going long again at 505p

[wipo1] 28/1/2009 10:27

Small bounce, I thought it might have tested november 2008 lows? Are you still short hectorp? I have no position yet, still 100% cash.
