Echostar keeps Inmarsat waiting until last minute

[zcaprd7] 03/7/2018 13:53

Might be a smart time to top up?

[the original goldbug] 03/7/2018 12:55

Wow!

The market just loathes this stock.

Yes it’s tricky.Trouble is,if no one tables a bid,then it’s an indictment of the company and its strategy (they’re not just saying you’re a lousy management and we can do better)they would be saying,we’re not convinced,all things considered,that you’re heading in the right direction or are likely to achieve an acceptable return on capital employed.This would be the implication albeit the likes of Echostar are in comparable businesses.I would dearly like a corporate party to take my stock because I suspect that the company is overly optimistic about prospects for aviation broadband.

No bid and we’re back to under 4 quid.

Echostar has until the end of the week,to put up or shut up.This eleventh hour stuff is weighing on the price and pressuring speculative punters.Hopefully,Echostar are in talks with Inmarsat and trying to hammer out a deal which is mutually acceptable,giving rise to a board recommendation.Whether Echostar have been offered financing on a reasonable basis is key.If Echostar weren’t interested then we might well of heard by now.......or would we.

not obvious at all which way this is going to go..

even with a bid from echostar ~£6 the board are likely to rebuff.. so not sure how much merit there is in tabling anything other than a price that's going to get board approval..

if they walk away then we're in for some short term pain (assuming no-one else enters the fray)

[the original goldbug] 03/7/2018 08:24

Well the market is obviously saying a bid is likely to come in at just under £6.

I suppose a serious counter bidder won’t make a move until Echostar have played their hand.

[argylerich] 03/7/2018 08:02

The first we'll know of anything at this late stage is a rapid change in price, one way or t'other!

[bscuit] 03/7/2018 07:49

Are you for real?!

[sky2002] 02/7/2018 18:29

Anybody got any fresh news on possible bid ?

[7ran5ac710n] 29/6/2018 17:03

872k sell @ 16:35 - someone's playing hardball... Get that price down, Shep!This was a punt back in late May that's turned good, so let the noise continue...TTFN

[sky2002] 29/6/2018 14:17

Will they get a good bid ? Shares dropping a fair bit now

[zcaprd7] 29/6/2018 13:37

Gone quiet here now... Formal bid from someone next week?

[7ran5ac710n] 27/6/2018 18:30

E.g. Corp. low volume contra trades...

[argylerich] 27/6/2018 15:16

On what spectrum?

[argylerich] 27/6/2018 14:45

anyone picking up any noise?

[the original goldbug] 27/6/2018 09:47

Yes, I can’t see how the board can endorse anything below £7.

Nonetheless it is strange that the arbs don’t appear to be smelling that eventuality.

[kalkaar] 27/6/2018 09:03

if Echostar want to push their bid through with board approval then you've got to think they need to be somewhere in the region of £7+

failing that we've got to hope Viasat (or a.n.other) come in..

finely balanced

[the original goldbug] 27/6/2018 08:51

I guess the market, in all its wisdom, is saying Echostar comes in at circa £6 and there are no other bidders.

HSBC raises Inmarsat to 525 now

[volsung] 27/6/2018 07:29

Still a nice chart. Will recover soon with any rumours of a bid

[the original goldbug] 26/6/2018 16:51

That’s taken the fun out of things.
