De La Rue Share Discussion Threads

[casual47] 19/2/2015 10:46

The share price started rising before rumours resurfaced in the press.

Leak or organised pump?

There hasn't been a holding RNS yet from any of the IIs, that would be an indication if there were one.

Column in FT today throws out some other names "..rumoured potential bidders such as Oberthur, Fiduciaire and Ingenico".

But no response from De La Rue or anyone else.

These long-running rumours just keep on coming back and don't seem to go away....


ALL IMO. DYOR.

[cockneyrebel] 18/2/2015 15:51

[redips2] 18/2/2015 14:36

Makes that offer worth £7.48/share .

Up on volume:


LONDON (Alliance News) - Shares in De La Rue PLC are trading higher on Wednesday, having closed up around 5% on Tuesday on the back of continued speculation about a bid for the company from French digital security company Oberthur Technologies.
Shares in the banknote printer were up 5.5% on Wednesday afternoon, one of the best performers in the FTSE 250, after the Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that the company is understood to have attracted the attention of Oberthur and unnamed European private equity houses.
Oberthur had previously made a bid for De La Rue in 2011, but walked away from the deal after De La Rue reportedly refused to engage in any talks over a potential takeover.

Looking Good !

[casual47] 18/2/2015 14:00

I hold these in my SIPP and am not looking for a quick buck so I'd rather they remain listed and rebuff any takeover that would see them go private / delist from FTSE. It's a unique industry so portfolio wise great for me. Hope to hold them for many decades to come.

[quepassa] 18/2/2015 06:33

Renewed bid/takeover speculation. Oberthur once again mentioned, according to FT.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

ADVFN User sentiment on DLAR very positive.

I would guess that this is related to Greece.

DLAR is about the only company capable of knocking out a new currency in a few months. Apparently they were on standby in 2012......so I guess the same is happening now.

.....then there would be Cyprus......Portugal.....etc etc

[thehearse] 17/2/2015 13:03

For those interested: trade volumes being seen now - solid blocks sizes between 11.20am and 12.40pm

[thehearse] 17/2/2015 11:59

Okay, what's happening? The volumes look very average but the price has moved by nearly 5%. Not complaining of course but there does appear to be a secondary market at play. Views anyone?

[casual47] 22/1/2015 12:33

Also. . . .what's wrong with holding a share, that is paying dividends, for 18-36 months?

As far as having a balanced portfolio goes, especially in terms of range of sectors etc, DLAR is an excellent share to be in.

[brer_rabbit] 21/1/2015 14:11

Must be time for the price to go up to 700p then. LOL

[thehearse] 20/1/2015 07:37

Done my homework now and it doesn't look too promising unless you're planning to hold for 18-36 months. Appears there is an over supply of printed currency resulting in paper thin margins ( no pun intended). Lost 2 CEOs, company is secretive, recent offer went nowhere, and of course slashed the dividend etc. The impression I get is this stock is not currently highly regarded by the pros. Does this sound about right?Opportunity cost; time to reduce and take the hit me thinks.Must now buy AFR lol.

[redips2] 16/1/2015 08:47

I fear this is it for the foreseeable future, that is unless management have several fabulous rabbits to drag out of the magic hat, while and at the same time wearing their lucky socks .

[redartbmud] 16/1/2015 07:55

700p - dream on.

[thehearse] 16/1/2015 07:20

Question, does anyone see this stock recovering to 700+ over the next 6 months? Or is this another HMV, i.e. An out dated company that has had its day?

[quepassa] 13/1/2015 09:57

Investec issue broker update and REITERATE their ADD reco with TARGET PRICE 560p

Wanted to share my delight, not, in seeing my divi payment yesterday. It's no wonder investors have bailed. Returned approx. 1.25% after tax. It cost me 28% to secure. LOL.

Hollande to-day stressed that Greece must meet debt-reduction
commitments, he also said there is
"a limit to the capacity of european people to endure austerity"

While he shags anyone in SIGHT.

edit
the ECB meeting of 22/jan was supposed to be dominated by QE debate
which is now shelved so as not to influence greek election of 25th

the euro is never going to work, when one interest rate covers all countries
lets not forget all those who pushed for UK to join euro
