Sold out a couple of weeks ago for what I paid for them in Nov 2019 i.e. 815p . Got one small dividend out of them .Not prepared to wait as I needed the cash for another investment. GL to all holders I hope you get a counter bid.

[richie32] 05/3/2021 13:25

Sold, so now what?

Sold half my holding in case bid doesn't materialise

Counter-bid in the offing? The ceiling for the share price should be 880p until the XD date and from then 870p,

[betman] 02/3/2021 10:36

I believe the deadline for a confirmed bid is the 5th March so we should definitely hear something this week

Results out on Monday, should have an update then.

It WAS a world leader. The competition caught up both in technology and commercial practise (where they 'overtook' AGK The mooted price included any dividend

[trickyricky] 08/2/2021 15:08

Why is the current share price not trading closer to the proposed 880p ?

[manouk2] 08/2/2021 14:52

I am not enamoured with the suggested take-out price. AGGK is a world wide leader n its field. There is a significant US competitor, but this company does not have the worldwide coverage enjoyed by AGGK. AGGK has been held back in recent years by difficult trading in third world countries from which it has found pproblems in collecting debts from customers. Also devaluations in those countries have undermined contractual profitability. It seems to have largely dealt with these issues, but has since been hampered by the drop in oil prices which has affected demand for its products especially from frackers, and the uncertainty created by Covid on sporting events and music festivals. Nevertheless, if there is to be a bid for the leader in its field, then a greater premium should be paid.

£23 was when it had no competition. Now it has competition aplenty. Used to make its money of powering the Olympics etc but has been shut out of contracts for many years by the approach of its foreign competitors to ..... shall we say 'oiling the wheels of commerce'. Where such activity is neither illegal nor frowned upon. Its a simple fact of life.

vince...yes fingers crossed for a bidding war. Totally undervalued at the bid offer.

[vinceelliott] 06/2/2021 09:24

This has been a 'local' favourite of mine for some years. Generally takes a big hit when it fails to win one of the summer or winter games contracts. With covid throwing doubt on the latest summer games this has taken the expected big hit in the last twelve months. South American contracts have plagued this share in more recent years dragging the share down from £16. Look further back and you will see a peak of around £23. This is a good 'value' play. There should be other outside interest over the next few weeks. Do not see it coming from the other local' favourite WEIR but AHT should be running an eye over this.

Cheers! Only a small holding in my SIPP, but every little helps

[ianguerin] 05/2/2021 21:29

Interesting to enter at around 320p - 330p though where there is some support. Otherwise, without news it could continue drifting lower with negative sentiments.

[fuji99] 11/9/2020 13:49

Not good if it closes below 400p.
