| 26/6/2015 08:14 | The question is why is itA. They have balls of steel and are going with a gut feeling.B. They know something or have a rumour that we don't know about.C. They are stupid. | werty5 | |
| 26/6/2015 08:08 | Buying into Anite above offer price hopefully someone knows something. | werty5 | |
| 26/6/2015 08:02 | Now that is a surprisingly good start to the day, could there be a rumour circulating? | werty5 | |
| 24/6/2015 19:30 | Hmmm, but we have to be realistic about the offer. 300p would be colossal, 200p is just the going rate. Alphaville re full year trading update FY2015 | picobird | |
| 24/6/2015 19:20 | 200p would be colossal - I would be settle for 155 | mbmiah | |
| 24/6/2015 19:00 | Just wondering when that 'offer incidental' runs out. The irrevocable shareholders clause had 7 days of grace from the announcement date. So now Keysight has 15% of the 75% needed. The profit figure has already been established. Sales of their new utility suites came through strongly in Q4. Add a decent premium ( say that 20% Keysight kept shouting about ) & that offer bid should be revised to 200p. Problem is Keysight cannot cover that with their offshore funds without digging deeper elsewhere. | picobird | |
| 24/6/2015 18:51 | If they are that poor the deal may be off, but does this not also reflect badly on the BOD who appeared to think they would be good?? This can't be true. The results will be OK. Then another offer comes in and we are all sitting pretty, maybe! | jadeticl3 | |
| 24/6/2015 18:40 | EBITDA £ 22.1 mill ( even after taking the € weakness into account ). Chris Humphrey is going to need some moral support at the analyst meeting. Will the Keysight guy be there ??? The chairman will be IMHO. | picobird | |
| 24/6/2015 17:12 | Looking at the figures. The current price is 127.62p. The growth rate is 19% for the current year. The P/E ratio is 19. That gives a PEG of 1.2. So in the medium term we could have expected the share price to hit £1.60. So Keysight is getting the company at a discount of 20% & not paying a premium of 20%. That is if we can all bear the situation for a couple more weeks. So yes, the shareholders have been taken for a ride. The timing was disgusting coming as it did before the results were announced next week. A lot of these older guys get a great thrill from the cut & thrust of running a company. For many it keeps their minds active & results in them staying 'young'. Nowadays 80 might be a good age to consider being 'old' in a company environment & not earlier. In fact in a recent interview Chris Humphrey said that he prefers being an executive rather than laying on the beach. I will leave it to other posters on this board as to whether an accountant (CEO) who is on about £360,000 basic really needs options as an incentive. I agree options do serve a purpose but not to the extent that Anite has gone to in their LTIP implemented by the chairman last year. The group finance man is on about two thirds of that plus options. Incidentally Chris Humphrey is an FCA, CIMA, BA, MBA & also works in an honorary position for a couple of public companies (figures presentation - Companies Act capacity). He has the figures already & yet advocates the acceptance of the Keysight offer. That sums up the motive that is operating here !!! | picobird | |
| 24/6/2015 16:52 | Hello to current Anite forum members. I'm rather new to this but as one of the sons of the guy that took this company public I feel moved to have my say. I agree with 'picobird' that this company still has a lot more growth in it shareware and that the directors just want to take the money and run. Many of them are quite old and just want to enjoy the fruits of their labour while the going is good. I also agree with 'irenekent' that the shareholders are missing out, if my information is correct, to the tune of £22million!. I would interested in other shareholders' opinions on this. | mrsting | |
| 24/6/2015 16:26 | It can't be Keysight buying. Someone on another forum says they cannot buy above £1.26 without increasing the offer price. | picobird | |
| 24/6/2015 16:22 | was that 2m in total then Davros? | brando69 | |
| 24/6/2015 15:56 | Now why would someone just buy 1m shares above the offer price...? | davr0s | |
| 24/6/2015 15:55 | Now why would someone just but 1m shares above the offer price? | davr0s | |
| 24/6/2015 14:51 | Seems to me that they just want to take the money & run. Chris Humphrey is no doubt fed up with his commute between Fleet & Bath. In his late fifties he just wants to put his feet up ( and count his wad ). Pretty straightforward really. People normally love their jobs especially if there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow ! Do not get me wrong, CEO's do work hard. Where there are people there are always meetings, normally through most of the day. When the results are announced will anybody notice? Peeps are going to be running around in circles after Greece defaults. | picobird | |
| 24/6/2015 13:29 | Found this twitter site. Makes a good summary of Anites achievements to date. Changing the subject scroll down and check that lorry out with video display on the back. | butmac | |
| 24/6/2015 10:30 | Either our BOD are dishonest, self-seeking, oppertunists, or very shrewd directors pursuing a carefully crafted route to flush out would be buyers. Only time will tell. I have my views but am prepared to wait a few weeks. The one thing I am clear about is that, from all that we know, this recommended offer is way below fair value. Now why would a knowledgeable, capable, honest BOD recommend such an obviously low offer? Mmmmm! | jadeticl3 | |
| 24/6/2015 09:32 | Yep that's my stance too, werty | davr0s | |
| 24/6/2015 09:23 | Staying put at the moment. I look at it this way your money is safe at this level because we all know the price offered for Anite however could be plenty of upside if a rival bid materialises. So low risk plenty of potential uprise can't get that by investing elsewhere. | werty5 | |
| 23/6/2015 23:11 | Sitting tight. But, the painfully slow movements in the share price says to me it's a done deal and the MMs are just playing us all | mbmiah | |
| 23/6/2015 20:17 | Well done brand69, you have been around on this I thread for quite a while so good luck for the future. I must confess that I would like to see this Keysight takeover scuppered. Been reading posts on other forums, those posters are rather pained off by the events as well. People expecting an absolute minimum bid of 140p & another saying that he always thought that Anite was solely run for the benefit of the directors. The timing of that IC article is a little suspicious. IC had steered well clear of Anite for a considerable time prior to that rather too well informed 2 page report. Interestingly enough 45% of CEO's have been to private schools although it used to be much higher. Tomorrow week everyone will know that the offer was too low. Will Keysight then increase their offer - only if pigs can fly !!! | picobird | |
| 23/6/2015 12:08 | I sold up yesterday, with a decent 30% return. Clear that the money would be better used elsewhere. Topped up my STY holding and it's already gained 35% in 24 hours so can't complain. Maybe a rival bid will come, but there are clearer ways to make money than play that guessing game. | brando69 | |
