14/1/2014 09:23 | Daily telegraph 2014 tips - FirstGroup had a pretty rough 2012, when it was denied a multi-billion-pound contract to run rail services on the West Coast Main Line. Unfortunately for the transport group's shareholders, 2013 turned out to be little better. In May, it announced a deeply discounted £615m rights issue. Then earlier this month, US activist investor Sandell Asset Management wrote to the board calling for a break-up of the group. Sandell claims support from other shareholders, but analysts have largely dismissed the hedge fund's transformation plan, pointing out management extensively reviewed other options before announcing the rights issue. But Sandell's presence on the shareholder register could be a catalyst for management to accelerate its turnaround. FirstGroup is investing £1.6bn over four years. It has named a new chairman, John McFarlane of Aviva, which was well received by the markets. Clearly there are risks and miracles won't happen overnight, but it might finally be time to climb back on board the FirstGroup bus. | ianb5004 | |

12/1/2014 20:52 | I understand Sandell only has a stake of 3.1% in FGP (according to the Telegraph). Is that enough to apply pressure on the BOD? Perhaps he will need to buy more shares and/or get other investors on his side. | highpeak | |
12/1/2014 20:23 | Groan. I hope not. Not another bloody return of value, ala Vodafone/Verizon. | slaterlpj | |
12/1/2014 20:10 | could be interesting for sp--- today's press "An activist investor is flying to London to put pressure on FirstGroup to break itself up, according to the Sunday Telegraph. Swedish billionaire Thomas Sandell will meet FirstGroup investors and his hedge fund will give a presentation at a Bank of America Merrill Lynch conference. He wants the transport group to sell Greyhound in the US and spin off its US yellow school buses and transit business. FirstGroup rejected the plan in December. A large investor told the paper the proposals were "fundamentally interesting" but that it was not clear they could be executed." | whum | |
11/1/2014 09:31 | Maybe the share price is increasing in anticipation of the final dividend being announced. It's not likely that it will be announced until May, but this could be prompting buying in advance of the share price rising when (if) it is announced. I see the share price is also very near to the TERP. Remember that? | slaterlpj | |
