#Evoque92, thanks for sharing, there is rarely smoke without fire, we will have to wait and see the offer if/when it comes, and if it is cash, shares or both.. :o) |

RBC RAISES BURBERRY TO 'OUTPERFORM' (SECTOR PERFORM) - PRICE TARGET 900 (650) PENCE |
Kering is a bargain too by the way and pays a 6% dividend |
Adding on the dip, it's only a matter of time before a £12 bid lands on the table. |
doubts creeping in. personally, I think this was a short squeeze |
The debt is mostly lease obligations, not a bad kinda debt, just skews the books from a thousand feet. |
They can have my shares for 1600p - bargain ;) |
+ 5 mill volume today, usual 1.3 mill post hours |
How does anyone know there will be an offer? Just conjecture |
why would anyone want to takeover with a bid £3b with over £1b in debt? Doesn't make any business sense |
A little late buying in but the Moncler chatter it makes total sense with BRBY at its current valuation, so I'm in. One would except a first offer north of £11. |
More than chatter I suspect reading the below.
Miss Tweed said any deal would likely involve a mix of cash and shares given that Moncler does not have sufficient cash to be able to buy Burberry.
The report said that Bernard Arnault, the controlling shareholder of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE, which has recently indirectly taken a stake in Moncler, is supportive of the deal. |
Bidders are circling..also Dec is make or break season. Hence share price will drift hight till end of year which is least resistance rather than going down DYOR. |
It was more interesting as a buy at 550p than 850p, that's for sure. if the bid talk fades, they will probably drift below 750p. |
Market do not think much of a premium from the current price. I recon if bid comes it will be 1000p +++ May be 1250p |
Saw this in my inbox this morning
BURBERRY (BRBY) Moncler could be weighing Bid for Burberry according to chatter |
Shorts got burned here. no sympathy |
Anyone know when the next trading update or results are due? |
Well with a market cap of 14 billion BRBY will make a tasty morsel for it,I suppose the usual 40% premium sold for a song useless UK management at work again .
Great at awarding themselves unwarranted bonus payments and free shares nothing else running a business into the ground seems to come as second nature to them. I do hope that J.Akeroyd had to repay his bonus and stock options. |
Does it predict takeover price? |
#Evoque92, interesting if true, someone has been hoovering up shares since the recent low that is for sure.. :o) |
