Posted at 28/5/2008 08:43 by ed 123 BTSM results are very good; not yet affected by any downturn.Might this spur a counter offer for GDYO? Probably not, imho. If the major shareholders were open to offers, they should have started a sale process in spring last year. Starting with a market share price of around 400p should have given > 500p for a take out price. |
Posted at 07/5/2008 20:16 by ashleighp We can still decline the offer or do nothing and see how many acceptances they get by the deadline (which would usually be extended if they don't have a lot of acceptances). My feeling is that i'll adopt the wait and see approach. I'd be happy to hold these for a lot longer. Private investors often think these things are a done deal and grudgingly accept - but takeovers succeed because of this behaviour. If we all declined or took our time then things might turn out different. I bet there are a lot of other loyal GDYO followers around that would be happy to decline. |
Posted at 03/5/2008 10:43 by ed 123 A few of my rambling thoughts:Wolseley have a difficult market in the US, with no sign of improvement yet. Its interim dividend was in excess of its basic eps. Regarding acquisitions, WOS said, "The Group will apply a highly selective approach to further capital and acquisition expenditure." However, GDYO would only be loose change to WOS. We don't know whether it was WOS that expressed an interest in GDYO and, even if it was, there may now be another front runner. GDYO share price rose over the last few days, so perhaps someone is expecting confirmation of an offer. A bold punter might sell GDYO now and put the funds into WOS or TPK, etc. I think if there is an announcement that the mooted takeover is off, the share price would drop; guessing down to 350p-ish. Long term, GDYO of course looks solid. Yes, it's a difficult call. I suppose it depends on one's investment objectives/approach. |
Posted at 12/3/2008 11:35 by ed 123 A new mm has appeared. "STAN" is bidding to buy 10,000 shares at 400p, but not offering to sell any. Am I to presume STAN thinks a formal offer will be made to buy GDYO? |
Posted at 10/3/2008 11:14 by ed 123 AshleighP, I've only held GDYO, so can't comment on the "A" shares. I'm pleased you've done well from your investment.Finals are due for release on Wednesday. Along with the finals there should be some comment about the takeover talks. Of course, it could go either way, but I still favour a recommended offer as the outcome. The UK is heading for a slowdown and the credit crunch has further to go, so I should think the major shareholders would be amenable to a reasonable offer. The quote is up 10p today with no reported trades. Perhaps my expectations are shared by others? |
Posted at 26/2/2008 13:31 by ed 123 TPK is up nicely today, while BTSM is down. Is the latter the party in talks with GDYO?Looking at the possible bid, even going back to 2000 the shareprice was at times above 300p, so (although safe) GDYO has not given longterm holders good capital growth. Consequently, I should think that the major holders of GDYO would accept a reasonable offer. The larger chains have much better buying power and can spread their overheads over many more outlets, so there would be good efficiency gains available for any buyer of GDYO. My guess is that a bid of around 440p will be made and recommended for acceptance. Holding and hoping. |
Posted at 15/2/2008 08:32 by ed 123 Thanks. Sometimes rumours persist for months before a move is announced. I expect GDYO to be swallowed at some point. With the shareprice weak and considering the good finances/sound business/cost saving opportunity, now would be a good time for someone to make a move, imho. |
Posted at 14/11/2007 19:06 by ashleighp Well it did get over the £4 mark for a while!Broker forecasts still pretty reasonable. I'm happy to hold and pick up the dividend. |
Posted at 22/8/2007 09:06 by ashleighp A very good set of results compared the slower growth over the last two to three years and a reasonably optimistic outlook - bearing in mind they never get too enthusiastic in their outlook statements. The increased dividend is welcome too.We could well get back over the £4 mark now. Also never seen any takeover rumours, except on this board so would not say that's on the cards. |
Posted at 10/3/2006 09:53 by spaceparallax VN,I'm showing my age. It's a quote from a Clint Eastwood classic, where detective Harry Callaghan has pursued a hood; the hood is wondering whether he should reach for his gun and is trying to recall how many shots 'Dirty Harry' has fired .... harry says 'Are you feeling lucky punk.....' i.e. are you willing to take the gamble, given the knowledge/info available. Anyway, back to business, yesterday I was not feeling lucky here and as a result chose not to top-up. As it happens, my guess was right, the results are not good - as you say @ the lower end. I envisage a return to the 300p level and will wait for a suitable oppo; I still like GDYO and see current performance more as a reflection of the flat market sector rather than their performance. |
