Posted at 15/5/2024 19:46 by not my real name HOLTSThe offer will be accepted , but will it be allowed ? -------------------- I think the Government would struggle to find a logical argument against it. He already passed the "proper person" test when he upped his stake and virtually every one of the essential services in the entire UK are owned by foreign investors already. I will be perfectly happy to work under the new management but I think I will be in a minority. The look on the Union reps faces when the news broke this afternoon was absolutely priceless. Absolutely panic stricken. They all rushed off to have a meeting. (not doubt planning a series of protests, strikes and other forms of industrial skullduggery) Me? Just loving it. 6 vans on the road and in a win win situation. Bring on the Union, bring on the Government. The only way is up. If the offer goes through, I trouser an immediate 73% profit. If it doesn't, I will double or treble my investment when the ridiculous, outdated USO is shredded and thrown in the bin. I will have to wait longer but make more in the long run. Good luck to all, NMRN |
Posted at 20/4/2024 18:35 by isis Largest Shareholders are saying bid is undervalued and blaming (rightly so) Ofcom and HMG for completely ignoring a need for change with the USO! |
Posted at 18/4/2024 11:29 by isis This is what happens when you have a Free market with undervalued assets. Can you blame Kretensky? He is just taking advantage of the markets.BT is in a similar and very vulnerable position, whereby two foreign investors own nearly 40% |
Posted at 18/4/2024 11:10 by isis If it's floated and there is no Golden share then it's game, not much Government can do about it.IDS needs to make a good defense on how much and their advisors think they are worth. It's a potshot to see what investors think,if they make a formal bid it probably won't be over 400p - maybe 350p - 370p or so. |
Posted at 17/4/2024 16:24 by burziancz ....CWU RESPONSE TO BREAKING NEWS OF POTENTIAL ROYAL MAIL TAKEOVER The breaking news of an impending takeover bid for Royal Mail Group (IDS) by Daniel Kretinsky is another significant moment. The truth is handing over the ownership of one of the UK’s most prestigious institutions to a foreign equity investor cannot be right. But neither is the current model or direction of the company. The truth is Royal Mail needs a new ownership and governance model that builds a postal service for the workers and customers and not one built solely focused on shareholder payouts and driving down the service and the terms and conditions of the workers. The CWU will be campaigning publicly and politically to deliver this change of direction. Dave Ward General Secretary |
Posted at 11/8/2023 17:04 by irenekent I live in despair of this useless company. Today is one of the most significant birthdays of my life and what do I receive in the way of post? ZERO. No cards, no bills , no Chronic Investor - Nothing. Like Wednesday, Monday & last weekend. Nothing. If I am lucky I get two deliveries a week. They should sack the lot of them and give the franchise to a company that can do the job properly. I live in the London suburbs, not the Outer Hebrides. This lack of service is inexcusable. |
Posted at 19/5/2023 12:20 by careful I must confess that I am a IDS investor so I get things badly wrong sometimes.But not always. As for Truss crashing government Bonds that is mostly rubbish. One of my recent successes was tO invest UK Government bonds, Treasury Stock during the recent turmoil. I watched the American Bond market yields rise the week before the Truss budget. Then came a bad inflation number in America the week before our Budget. 2 years yields in America went over 5% and crushed bonds all over the World, not just in the uk. I was ready to go in big buying our bonds before the budget as uk yields rose on the back of USA yields. To add fuel to the fire some of our smart pension providers were in serious trouble as their hedging strategy forced them to sell bonds at low prices. Then came the Truss budget to give it another (small) push down briefly. In I went buying Gilts, some longer dated indexed linked bods had halved due to forced selling, yields well about 4% on 2 year bond. The BOE baled out the troubled pension providers with about £690 bn, I sold my Gilts with a tax free gain of 15% a few weeks later. This was mostly not caused Truss and her budget, although her budget was a sop to Tory party members and was a shocker in its own right. Bond markets World Wide were crushed, not just the UK. everyone blamed Truss...ignorant. |
Posted at 18/5/2023 16:20 by isis Then the Government in it's wisdom is making it even worse by curtailing CGT limits to almost nothing. They certainly aren't encouraging Investors but turning them to the much more dangerous SB sites.Crazy!! |
Posted at 18/5/2023 16:04 by isis I don't think Retail Investors play much of a part in the markets these days. The volatility is enough to put anyone off.I think Hedge Funds, Bots and next door's Cat find the UK markets easy to manipulate. Having traded shares and invested all my working life I now advise people to steer clear because of the volatility and manipulation. Just now worth the hassle. |
Posted at 04/10/2022 19:51 by spob Investor relations - 10 day hourly chart - [...] 6 month + Pc20 - . 2 Year Full Prospectus ... 447 pages ... Share offer webpage... Outlier broker note :) [...] As of 11 October 2013 - first day of conditional trading Total number of shares 1000m = 100% Base offer = 52.2% (17.2% Retail investors / 35% Institutional Investors) Government stake = 37.8% (includes 7.8% over allotment option) * RMG Staff = 10% (Free shares - Locked in for 3 yrs or 5yrs tax free) * NOTE: The government sold its entire shareholding in RMG a few years after the float Yield - At the offer price of 330p the shares had a proposed yield of around 6%. However at the opening price of 450p, the projected yield drops to approx 4.4%. Net debt - As of June 2013, RMG had net-debt of 796m pounds. Giving an Enterprise value of 5296m pounds at 450p per share. Property assets - RMG owns significant property assets, (with high re-development values) some of which have been marked as surplus to requirements. These tangible assets could easily clear the current net-debt, should management have the common sense to do so ? Pensions - As part of the float preparations the government have taken on the vast majority of the pension schemes assets and liabilities. The deficit had far outweighed the current market value of the company. Profits - Current pre tax £400m. Estimates are of around £460m pre tax for 2014. FTSE 100 Index - At todays opening price of 450p the Market cap = £4.5 Billion, qualifying for automatic entry into the FTSE 100 index by COB on 20 December 2013.
