I would have thought that the best synergy is with Amazon? Cannot understand why they have not pounced yet.

"Following Home Retail’s sale of Homebase to Wesfarmers last week, Robinson’s move is likely to fuel speculation that the sale of Argos to Sainsbury’s will go ahead."

Four parties!! - Based on any facts or because some people on here are thrown a few names out.

[market sniper3] 26/1/2016 08:16

4 interested parties now then. Bidding war coming.

Sainsbury's largest investor, the Qatar Investment Authority, has indicated that it might be willing to support a £1bn-plus bid for Home Retail Group at a "modest" increase to the 130p or so cash and shares offer rejected by the Argos owner in November.

I wonder whether Amazon will enter the fray?

[katie priceless] 25/1/2016 19:24

It was Interesting to know what Sainsburys first offer was at last

[katie priceless] 25/1/2016 19:15

Yes , but things have changed dramatically since then in the retail sector

[imperial3] 25/1/2016 18:45

Asda has been rumoured to be a bidder for years.

[nw99] 25/1/2016 18:38

1.70 then from Sainsbury

[haywards26] 25/1/2016 18:36

I would be happy with an offer of £1.70 + Homebase return of cash.

A bidding war with Wal-Mart entering the fray would also be great :)

[nw99] 25/1/2016 15:33

£2 here we come

The Evil Diaries: Petroceltic and Google

ADDENDUM: On the Home run…

Plane Watch: My friend is so addicted to watching from his garden planes coming into Heathrow that he managed to pick up the arrival of a clutch of Walmart executives. They think that Home Retail (HOME) is worth 200p and that they can therefore eclipse Sainsbury’s. So I bought lots of HOME.

Apparently, there is c. £5bn of annual sales, no debt and TNAV of the order of £800m in contrast to a market value of the order of £1.2bn at 144p. Hurry along now. This should suit Asda.

Hearing EK gone long

[market sniper3] 25/1/2016 10:37

[imperial3] 23/1/2016 17:20

Asda " been sniffing" for years.Doubt whether they do anything.

[market sniper3] 23/1/2016 16:12
