This feels like one to hold onto in case another PE house turns up to spoil Bridgepoint's party. Very little risk of the bid disappearing and the bid in the market is firm at 496 for the moment. Probably nothing will happen but leaving it for a week or so feels like reasonable risk/reward from here.

550p would equate to a forward PE of 25 for a business with forecast EPS growth of 8%, paying a PEG of over 3 seems excessive for a business with low 30's gross margins.

So tomorrow is do or die for Bridgepoint then, I find the situation pretty unusual - definitely think the sky leaks are a tactic to flush out interested parties / force them over the line.

Will Cinven go head to head with Bridgepoint? Are they waiting to see the outcome of Bridgepoint's DD or did they back out when they discovered Bridgepoint's indicative offer.If the former, perhaps they will now show their hand?

New Mountain also said to be interested in an offer by Sky - and who am I to question such well-informed a source?

Other interested parties may, of course, appear or Bridgepoint may have the park to themselves. 505p is reasonable but not, I would say, generous. Perhaps some room for a competing bid up to 550p?

It's just bizarre, why are Sky news playing intermediary here? Not that I'm complaining as I've benefitted from both leaks, but surely if bridgepoint are going to seal the deal they would just announce it themselves?

Poor sucker who sold those chunks at 380 and 370 and ten minutes later others in the know buying at 70p higher. Very leaky ship and some quasi-fraudulent trading from the price action.

I bought yesterday at 380 thinking that the risk/reward looked good. I was offered 20,000 shares at 379 this morning when the advertised bid was 380 and I couldn't even sell 500 shares at the quoted bid price. Sadly, I didn't take them.

I can see Cinven coming back here. Possibly bid up to 550? I'm holding tight

Looks like Bridgepoint not going to bid. Some desperate sellers of chunks at significantly below the quoted bid price and I can buy in size at 379 when the quoted bid is 380! Can't even sell 500 at the bid price!

This is a very leaky ship and looks like someone knows that the bid isn't going through.

Should drop back to 330-335 and then share price will depend more on tomorrow's results Perhaps the outlook is less than scintillating which our seller may also know?

Another good company which has been shorted by hedgies leading it vulnerable to a bid. There were 1.44% of shares held short as of last nights close, so ~1.5m to buy back. As there looks to be multiple bids you'd assume it'll need to be over the £5 reached in 2023 to stand a chance?

I have to admit I tactually sold recently. The mention of the slow down combined with the technicals was all too bearish for me. I fully understand how extremely cheap this high quality company is, but until the technicals improve I won't be buying back in. Instead I saw better prospects in other "Alpha".

Now trading on a PE of 11 for the new financial year and plenty of net cash on the balance sheet too.

I presume with no forum posing many have jumped ship given the slightest slowdown. Back just before 2025?

Why jump ship!I see Investec has upped TP to £6.72p and sees its unchanged forecasts as conservative. Normalised pre-tax profit to move from £44m to £46.3m. Net cash of plus £50m, PE of 15. Div also anticipated to move to 15.6p for full year 2024.
