Halfords Share Discussion Threads

hard to believe they could just go on a monumental buying spree, scoop up all those tyre centres at the multiples of premiums and then everything is going to be bright and rosy.

I bet there will be years of skeletons in the cupboards to emerge, could be very painful for share price imo

Anyone can buy profits (1), just like anyone can buy losses (2)! "Skilled" business men can buy profits (but at a premium) (3), but only true entrepreneurs can buy profits at a discount (4)!

Which one of the four did Halfords gold plated salary and pension protected "circuit style" CEO and board choose for you ?

Wish Mtc would surge !

No RNS out today to confirm or deny rumour speculations?So business as usual then today.Awaiting half year results unless the potential suitor wants to make it a hostile takeover.Watch out!

.
So, if you pay £15000, you get to join a legal insider trading club.

[glavey] 12/10/2023 23:56

Or just £4000 per quarter.

[charlotte2020] 12/10/2023 21:17

You are kidding!!

[scobak] 12/10/2023 20:50

.....and costs £15,000 per annum!

[charlotte2020] 12/10/2023 20:36

A website that speculates on takeovers

[spob] 12/10/2023 18:45

Who is Betaville ?

[charlotte2020] 12/10/2023 17:27

Betaville also announced the takeovers of RS Group and Aviva. Wonder if it's third time lucky

Like I've said before, this should be treated like a growth stock with it's excellent program of growth in place, and going well. Last update was encouraging.

It's my biggest holding and £2.70 would be a tad disappointing, having previously sold at £3:80+.
Would be sad to see HFD taken over, it's a great stock to trade.

Market doesn't seem to believe 270p, wonder if we'll see an after hours RNS.

[kendonagasaki] 12/10/2023 16:19

So that is why they have set the announcement back.Gives them time to announce their is bid and we have declined.Or their is no bid at all.Or there is a bid and we are in talks.Then once that's all over they can just announce a good set of results in the 29-10-23.

Halfords shares surged on Thursday after markets blog Betaville reported in one of its 'uncooked alerts’ that the motoring and cycling products retailer was at the centre of takeover speculation.
Citing people following the situation, Betaville said that over the last few months Halfords had received an approach from a mystery party.
The latest indicative approach was rumoured to have been pitched at around 270p a share but that was rejected by the company. Since then, another suitor was said to have begun to show an interest in buying Halfords.
However, it's not clear whether Halfords is still in live discussions with either bidder, sources said.
At 1535 BST, the shares were up 15% at 210.20p.

[kendonagasaki] 12/10/2023 16:12

It's not a rumour.I hear they have had 2 potential offers from 2 interested parties?Every metric of their operations seems to be in growth phase bar cycle sales.Which is irrelevant in the future.Their E-commerce supply platform has been vastly underestimated and a big needs to be in the 365-390 arena.Getting interesting?

[yf23_1] 12/10/2023 15:47

Still going up. News after market close ?
Over 400p in 2021, stll v. cheap comparatively.

[argylerich] 12/10/2023 15:36

or just a bid rumour on twitter @baroninvestment

[argylerich] 12/10/2023 15:32

Heck, thought this would just tick along until nearer the time. Massive overhang seems to have cleared and... pop

[casino444] 12/10/2023 15:17

hope it's not bad news , market playing games with the share price again ?

[ashbox] 12/10/2023 12:39

29th now....

[kendonagasaki] 12/10/2023 12:06

Well next announcement on the 22-11-23 should take us back over 2 pounds plus again.BRC up in September!

[kendonagasaki] 10/9/2023 21:17

I see the that global cabal have already planned and prepared for a covid 2 lockdown!Well at least HFD will be open and have no competition again.We live in interesting times?
