Tate & Lyle Share Discussion Threads

I am lost for words with TATE these days, gave my view previously
and it just appears more of the same IMV.

Outside possibility of a bid if you are the optimistic sort.

Mmmm, I m guessing despondency has set in here. Juicy div in June.

[racg] 05/5/2015 12:27

Any opinions for current direction ?

Plenty of them around scobak , though most BBs seem mercifully free from them , inc this one.
I missed my chance for a quick 4% when I delayed selling on Monday , but suspect the opportunity will return soon.

[scobak] 28/4/2015 12:54

who's a bit of a punt?

[wad collector] 23/4/2015 13:10

Bit of a punt , but decided to add at 598 .

How does the man running this shambles keep hold of his job. The RR man gets pushed aside and he's done a half decent job. Anyway I sold out of this a year ago -can't believe this restructuring has produced so little . What else can go wrong -plenty it seems with Calamity James in charge.......

It is happening at Tate this morning ; the market doesn't appear to know how to react - down 20 p then up 7p all in the first hour.

[wad collector] 16/4/2015 12:54

Tempted to unload my trading stock for a quick 15% ; it is about time we had some more bad news!

[wad collector] 07/4/2015 23:48

Good question , it is merely the observation that there was a similar pattern after the last profit warning. Over-reaction then gradual amnesia?

[wad collector] 07/4/2015 12:10

You have called that spot on.
As I pointed out lat month the chart shows a remarkable similarity to the Dec dip , not that I am a chartist. Will it follow the pattern back up to 680?

[shammytime] 07/4/2015 07:58

Will probably see 650 here today

[grahamite2] 02/4/2015 12:14

Indeed - any day there's an announcement from TATE and it's not a profit warning is a good day!

[wad collector] 02/4/2015 09:52

Doesn't exactly trip off the tongue. They could have put a reasonable number of vowels in the name!
Actually they lost something in translation in the RNS ; the TM at the end of the Prima is meant to be Trade Mark!
It is another indigestible sugar - not sure what the advantage over other ones like lactulose will be.

The main part of the update was "in line" which I suppose is good , but not the debt increase bit. The market seems to like it though - currently up 20p.

[grahamite2] 02/4/2015 08:28

I wonder what was being said in the conference call? Is DOLCIA PRIMATM Allulose going to be a game changer?

[wad collector] 25/3/2015 12:13

....the pattern did not hold. £6 seems to be the new resistance.

[wad collector] 27/2/2015 09:58

There is a remarkable similarity between the December share price dip and recovery and the February dip and recovery. I am no chartist but a continuation with a few hiccups to 650 or so would be the same pattern . (Ignoring the vulgar complication of actual logic or news)

[wad collector] 19/2/2015 21:15

781p - there is a bit of wishful thinking I suspect. A couple of junior analysts down the winebar I suspect.

[dendria] 19/2/2015 09:00

Canaccord Genuity states a potential bid from Bunge is now “substantially greater” given Tate & Lyle’s “lowered valuation, a strong U.S. dollar, low interest rates, a good strategic fit and shareholder dissatisfaction with Tate.”

Canaccord Genuity moved its recommendation on Tate & Lyle from sell to buy and raised its target price to 650p from 530p. The analysts also modelled an acquisition of Tate & Lyle by Bunge at 781p a share, a 40% premium to the current share price.

Looking at the share price movement today I think it is fair to say that no-one is taking that rumour seriously.
You can but hope though....

[philanderer] 16/2/2015 19:36

Here`s the link.. Bunge again ;-)

'Tate & Lyle sweetened by takeover hopes'

Shares in the Splenda maker rallied off a three and a half year low on talk of a possible bid from Bunge

[deanforester] 16/2/2015 17:29

There is a suggestion that a US company is looking over TATE, with a view to a bid.
