If that is the case, it would be obvious for investors to get in now for an easy 30% turnaround. Why is then the price at about £10?

What happens to the shares of us small investors if the company is taken private, will we still be able to trade the shares or something needs to be done, like trading them OTC etc

Just to corroborate my final statement -

Per the FT
"Private equity firms are offering the highest premiums for listed companies in more than two decades, paying almost 70 per cent above the prior share price in some cases, in a sign of the widening gap between cash-rich buyout groups and public market investors.

Buyout groups paid an average premium of 45 per cent for European companies in 2021, the highest since the data company Refinitiv’s records began in 1980. In the US, the premiums hit 42 per cent this year, the highest since 1999."

Not to mention the fact there will be companies which actually need a takeover to survive which pull down that premium (e.g AA), the premium only increases when you have a company growing both the top line and profit, as well as having a huge untapped market which they are only just beginning to scratch the surface of (US).

Rudder - Harpin is making the right noises about taking advantage of decarbonisation but the reality is that HSV hasn't got any real capability in installing heat pumps, solar panels etc, and large scale adoption is yet being supported by govt policy/financial support.

Regardless of the move to decarbonise homes / electrify heat, there will always be a need for maintenance and emergency repair of essential home systems, it's just that this isn't as exciting for investors as the 'green dream'

Hi Disco, are you trying to discredit me? :D
I am not invested in VIC as I am not a big fan of companies of recent listing.
I don't feel there are enough elements to determine a fair price for VIC as yet but it is on my watchlist. Results from latest announcements are not massively encouraging. If you want to connect to share ideas and opinions on a number of stocks I am all for it. I seem to understand you do your research when picking stocks. Or you wouldn't be here!

Rudder, my opinion on HSV and debt. I am not a fan of companies with Zero debt. A certain level of debt and equity keeps new ventures away from taking on market share. A business that can be start on a small initial investment will likely face competition from new ventures approaching the market.

I think HSV has a manageable debt and sufficient liquidity (cash). Quick ratio and dividend cover is good too. Interest rates won't rise to a significant level in the medium term. Inflationary pressure will be a reality for the coming 2-3 years
Macroeconomics are very difficult if not impossible to predict. The best investors in history didn't pay much attention to macroeconomics. I would focus on healthy attractive businesses at an attractive price.

so that's about £600K. Is it known if that's a sale from a fund manager or from a private investor, etc?

Wonder if this will see double digit’s ever again, or is this what the stock market is best at-pulling down the pants of pig investors?

Comment from TMF...........

Positive reaction

Shares in home emergency, repair and installation services provider, Homeserve (LSE: HSV) have also shown great momentum over the last year. Priced at 463p exactly one year ago, they changed hands for 700p before today — a corking 51% rise.

In the 2016/17 financial year, the Walsall-based business recorded a 24% increase in revenue to £785m and pre-tax profits of £98.3m — a climb of 19% on the previous year’s figure.

Growth overseas was particularly impressive with record performance achieved in North America. Over the last year, the company has managed to pass the 3m customer milestone, sign up 100 new partners and increase adjusted operating profit by 75% to just over £21m. Customer numbers in France and Spain also rose, by 4% and 7% respectively.

Looking to the future, the £2.2bn cap is expected to post earnings per share growth of 18% next year, leaving the stocks on a P/E of 23. That’s pretty rich by most investors’ standards. Nevertheless, with such superb numbers being revealed today, I think this can be justified. Judging by the 12% jump in its share price this morning, the market would seem to agree.
