BG Group Share Discussion Threads

[ericjhan] 19/6/2015 12:29

I'm simply not understanding why - when Shell has bid 1,300p or thereabouts for BG and the directors of BG are in favour of accepting, why the share price is languishing at much less, particularly when BG is a BUY (IMO) in its own right.
Is it simply because this takeover might take some time to come to fruition and the low share price is a reflection of that delay? Or is there some other influence of which I am not aware.

Oil price drop a buck, jefferies issues a buy note

The reason Tullow is up, is offer speculation.
But your right i thought it would be trading over £12 at the mo.

[shahi1] 15/4/2015 13:06

Agreed. I am surprised that the price is not well above £12 by now seeing how the other oil stocks are performing esp Tullow.

[84stewart] 15/4/2015 10:56

Spoke to an analyst yesterday if this was a goer it should be sitting at around £12.30-£12.50 not a lot of confidence in it

[84stewart] 15/4/2015 10:52

it is looking a bit of a disaster i.e.: no counterbid ,too much hurdles to overcome
investment COs are using this to take short positions stopping a real rise in the price don't know if bid will go thru +oil price rising but BG. is going up and down like a yoyo

[shahi1] 15/4/2015 10:07

Are there no BG. holders here? What are the views on the looming takeover by Shell?

[bionicdog] 09/4/2015 15:47

B shares are being offered , so RDSB.

[adg] 09/4/2015 14:02

what ticker do people tend to use for shell in the uk?
Daft question probably but there seem to be many class of shares on many markets listed for them

[essentialinvestor] 09/4/2015 13:39

Shell cannot compete with XOM, if they do the Shell bid is dead in the water,
XOM bidding is a very outside prospect imo, never say never.

[84stewart] 09/4/2015 13:31

Problem if XOM bid iwould think it would have to an all cash offer in the region of £49.5-£50 billion, as who wants their shares as they would be more difficult to sell

[nigelpm] 09/4/2015 12:55

strange that these are 200p below the offer price

Lots of legal and political loopholes to jump through presumably.

[dealy] 09/4/2015 12:46

strange that these are 200p below the offer price (although, of course, depends somewhat on Shell's share price). But still they should be higher. Always a chance of a better offer from XOM.

[essentialinvestor] 09/4/2015 12:05

Shell saw their opportunity and pounced, XOM could still take this but
unlikely imv, always thought it would be XOM rather than Shell.
