I've noticed that the share price still moves up and down since the takeover bid. Has the bid been definitely accepted or is there a chance the buyer could pull out? Thanks.

[lovegod2] 09/7/2019 10:29

looks as if BCA in talks to buy Evans Halshaw now.

[snowydays] 03/7/2019 16:18

Trading above the offer price. Speculation of a rival bid? Or just shorters closing?

[snowydays] 26/6/2019 07:05

Bid confirmed. Nice start to the day.

11/06/2018
BCA Marketplace has rejected a £1.61bn takeover offer from London-based private equity firm Apax Partners.
BCA rejected the 200 pence-per-share offer, which represents a 5.2% discount to Friday’s closing price of 211 pence-per-share.
Monday price up by almost 9.5%, at 230 pence-per-share, however.
BCA said in April it was trading ahead of market expectation with strong profit growth as the remarketing businesses was successful in winning new contracts and continuing contract renewals.

Have to wait and see what the results say, tomorrow. 150p seems to be a bit of a wild guess, unless it's based on something I don't know about.

It rather looks as if the deal will go through, no doubt with Avril staying at the helm.

If this deal falls through

What do you experienced holders think the share price will fall to ?


I get first dibs cos it's my game 150p

bought most of our vehicles from bca, some 3yrs old with less than 5k on the clock
and sold through wbuy yc, quick and easy, our local jag garage just closed down,
so a lot of future business will be through big car supermarkets
which buy from BCA, which if they gave joe public a lower
comm, charge would push auction prices up a tad,
foreigners buying up everything at a 30% plus currency discount, tragic
ie NZD/£ was 3.40/£ now 1.92/£

[poikka] 21/6/2019 12:44

That is, of course, unknown.

[lovegod2] 21/6/2019 10:28

when will these advanced talks come to fruition ?

[poikka] 21/6/2019 09:38

No sign of APAX coming to the party. Flogged half my holding this AM and keeping the rest just in case.

I guess that Avril will keep her job and make a tidy sum from her shares - nice.

is that woodford in the yellow wig ?

[minerve 2] 20/6/2019 11:34

Hypocrite Porsche

I thought you didn't touch Woodford stocks.

[poikka] 20/6/2019 11:33

Nice, but I'll miss the divi. Still, at 170p buy I can't complain.

[porsche1945] 20/6/2019 11:10

"European New Car Market in 2019 (Q1)

New passenger vehicle registrations in the European Union and EFTA countries were down 136,000 cars to 4,146,152 vehicles – a contraction of 3.2%. This was the second consecutive quarter of weaker car sales in Europe.

Car sales in Europe remained at relatively high numbers despite the slight contraction. The market continued to be influenced by manufacturers struggling with WLTP regulations but economic weakness increasingly played a role too.

More worryingly for the European automobile industry is that Easter weekend started at the end of March in 2018 while the complete long weekend is in April in 2019. First quarter sales for 2019 would therefore have been expected to be higher, while April 2019 figures may be even weaker than previously predicted."

"UK used car market stable in Q1 2019 down just -0.6% with more than 2 million transactions.

30.7% growth in demand for hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric cars as 32,272 change hands.

Superminis by far most popular used buy, taking a third market share, followed by lower medium."

With a no deal BREXIT this company will be flooded with cars from EU migrants returning home who don't need a RHD car. Already a problem selling the ones they have hence loans to dealers..
