INSIDE LEG: Will Reckitt Benckiser go for SSL?
23 November, 2009 08:57:56 AM

EVolution reckons it makes a good bite-sized opportunity. Says the other rumoured play, Colgate, just too big and there would be issues of management control.
Here the broker assess the rationale behind both deals: 'Last week's share price rally in reaction to press speculation that multi-billion dollar M&A activity was imminent reflects the markets desire for RB to make an acquisition. We believe that Colgate-Palmolive, a suggested name, would be too large to acquire and as a merger partner would involve issues of management control. However, SSL would be a fraction of its size and would yield excellent cost saving and cash flow opportunities. If M&A speculation falls away the market will revert to focusing on the existing businesses and it is worth taking full note of the advent of a potentially more effect rival to Suboxone called Vivitrol whose parent Alkermes has reported positive results from Phase 3 clinical studies. This is new news and suggests that the worst case scenarios baked in to FY10 forecasts could be reality. This is in addition to the challenge posed by P&G and others to 3 out of 4 RB household divisions.'

Reckitt May Be Close To Merger With Colgate



Speculation that Reckitt Benckiser may merge with US peer Colgate-Palmolive could be bad news for Durex condom firm SSL International. The bid premium of SSL is likely to disappear if Reckitt bids for anyone else, making SSL a 'sell' in the eyes of finnCap.

Thanks, doing well today in the runup to results next Tuesday, maybe will crack 700 before then.

Enami- the company announced the date here:

Does anybody know when the Interim Results are due? Historically in the last 2 weeks of November but the SSL website has no info and no contact email addresses.

Performing quite well so far this month and as I type the share price is matching the highest EOD close (652).

[enami] 16/10/2009 15:17

I totally missed the fact that there was a trading statement on Tuesday, it must be OK otherwise the share price would have plummeted.

BROKER CALL:Broker talks up SSL potential
9 October, 2009 11:49:53 AM

Shares in the consumer brand company are 4p higher at 635p, in what is a pretty quiet market, helped by Nomura reiterating a Buy stance and 690p price target. The broker believes the market continues to underestimate the Chinese opportunity, medium term prospects in Russia and an increased take-out opportunity. It added that it has a 900p take-out value. We've also heard that the company may be about to reveal a blockbuster of a product, though further info was not forthcoming.


And from FUM results afew weeks ago

"SSL is well advanced with the branding, marketing and launch plans for the
condom, which will be marketed within the Durex range of products."

:@))
