Indeed... McGill's seem to be growing by acquisition in Scotland as they previously took over the Dundee operation of National Express ....

Odd there has been no announcement, but First are disposing of two Scottish subsidiaries, Midland Bluebird and West Lothian. McGills take over on 19 September. This leaves First with Glasgow (huge) and Aberdeen.

So much for that ... RNS out for 'No intention to make an offer for FirstGroup plc'.

Shares of @FirstGroupplc up another 4% amid mix of bid speculation and broker comment. Talk of private equity interest at 150p a share. As it happens, Berenberg has put out a positive note with a price target of 150p. Also vague talk that National Express could be interested.

Revisiting that SQZ is 240 and FGP remains at 101. Will look at FGP again around Easter time.

[joestalin] 18/11/2021 15:39

I sold at 101 and bought SQZ which had fallen to 181. I figured that FGP would not rise much higher until well into 2022.

Anyone tendering their holdings? Haven't decided yet but minded to do so. This company is too errorprone to be a comfortable hold! Has ChronicInvestor got a view?

PEEL HUNT RAISES RPS GROUP PRICE TARGET TO 138 (121) PENCE - 'BUY'

[rimau1] 27/10/2021 08:27

Generous tender offer announced at £1.05 a share implying board confidence that this is undervalued. happy long term holder as positive momentum should continue now that Greyhound is gone and the government announcements on public transport investment. Sector consolidation likely too. This is a great sector for 2022 and beyond IMO

[joestalin] 21/10/2021 15:03

Greyhound - Sale gone ahead - FGP are £125m richer. The deal will help FirstGroup cut its adjusted net debt to about 10 million to 20 million pounds ($27.60 million), about 80 million to 90 million pounds lower than an earlier forecast. ($1 = 0.7246 pounds)

More director purchases albeit only 15k from a non exec. Lots of positives; no covid traces on trains in a recent study, staycations this year, trainline seeing underlying growth in ticket sales all point towards organic growth here, we have a c.41p cash return to look forward to, a strong balance sheet and the cherry on the cake would be a Greyhound sale! Ok i’m asking too much on the dog of the business….

[rimau1] 02/8/2021 12:10

Encouraging to see the Director purchases after the closed period end. By my calcs we will have 41p returned as a special and forecast earnings is around 5p for 2022 so we are trading on a forward PE of around 8 times. With a strong balance sheet, economy opening up and the ESG angle (public transport) this looks a decent long term hold for me.
