Huffingington post is calling it completely different.

The only thing I can think of is that the likes of Tesco and the sector has such a small profit margin on a basket of goods (1-2%) that they are willing to look at a number of options (maybe out of desperation) to boost the bottom line. I'm sure the 360m or so would come in very handy indeed.All the major supermarkets will have to try and reinvent themselves over time but who knows what will happen next.I blame it all on Amazon :)

Totally agree with Nortic. They were looking into booker plc take over which makes sense.

[mhassanriaz] 01/10/2017 21:43

Thanks for the link D1. I dont think its feasible for tesco to even consider bidding for dixons because of the sheer size of Dc group. However, a merger may be suitable. IMO, if vodafone or BT bids then it would interesting. Again just thinking out loud.
Coming back to tesco what benefit would tesco get from owing DC. Thoughts ??

[nortic 007] 01/10/2017 21:06

Even though I would love this story to happen I think Tesco and its management have got enough problems to deal with at the moment.

If Tesco and dixons hold even slight truth we will see it trading over 220p by next week. Pls can anyone post the link.

[ravin146] 01/10/2017 20:31

£2plus open?

[ravin146] 01/10/2017 14:36

Tesco to buy dixons or a strong partnership could work.Currently a pilot, would be great to be rolled out nationally after Xmas.Next week could be exciting as we head past £2

No such thing a Chinese Walls so you could well be right sir. As long as they go up I'm happy.

Deutsche puff it up to the punters and then advise top clients to 'take profits'.

Thank for getting that.

[nortic 007] 29/9/2017 17:27

I love story

[aim11] 29/9/2017 17:22

thanks Nordic, yes good weekend also

[aim11] 29/9/2017 17:21

TSCO was suggested as a possible bidder in an RBC report a month or so ago. Not as that likely a scenario, but as an outside possibility probably because DC/ has just started the small stores inside TSCO as a pilot which i think are going well and could be expanding. I think a Metro/FNAC/DC combo is probably more likely in due course, Metro buying a c.25% stake in French electrical retailer FNAC recently to kick this off. Up against Amazon it makes sense for these companies to ultimately get together and drive synergies. And the geographic overlap between the 3 is quite low, even more so now DC/ has exited Spain. I heard Metro management were strongly in favour of this deal eventually, although Metro has some internal shareholder issues to deal with as well. But i wouldn't stay long this name just in the hope of M&A obviously.

Royal Bank of Canada tips Tesco to bid for Dixons Carphone...sort of

[nortic 007] 29/9/2017 16:54

The story is on Betaville. I think you have to subscribe but have a look.

[nortic 007] 29/9/2017 16:44

Thanks AimDoesn't always work out that way but I can't grumble. I hope that all the bulls will benefit in time. Nice closing auction but keep thinking the market defies all logic at the moment so expecting a flat open Monday.There was some kind of story up in the Square Mile today connecting TSCO and DC but only just a story.Let's hope for more of the same next week.Pleasant weekend sir p.s I like ITV

[aim11] 29/9/2017 16:26
