It was 106p 2 weeks ago 😃 PSML... |
"a bid worth $6bn is being finalised"
Rumours are always enjoyable to read, and for anyone curious, $6bn would be £4.71bn and 4,710,000,000 / 3,812,628,148 ordinary shares in issue = 123.5p per share
Probably in the right ball park if true... ;) |
Whether this oft mooted takeover happens or not, ITV offers good value at current levels regardless.
Decent dividend whilst we wait too...
Christmas and a New Year hove into view, enjoy the season of good will. |
Oh dear more porkies! Those meetings with banks have apparently been going on for months now 😄...
Goldy knows these things but the major institutions who load up prior to such bids don't!
Lord give me strength!! |
Let the bun fight commence. |
How many here are still waiting patiently for goldy's 'today or tomorrow'? 😄
Total BS. 💩
What would Apple/Amazon/Disney etc. want with a linear terrestrial broadcaster?
The Dame's going nowhere either.
Lies on top of lies. My US contact says 😄.... |
Pourquoi le 18? |
Why the 18th? |

Here's the Canal+ split mentioned by II this morning. Canal+ to be listed in London next week. A takeover target for ITV perhaps... :0)
ITV plc should split ITV Studios off and list that on the French stock exchange just for le lols... :) |
I'm expecting an ITV RNS on 18th of December, but could be very wrong. I should have bought more when the share price hovered just above 60p. I only buy shares at rock bottom, to be in with a reasonable chance.
A long time ago, someone said, "The only thing thing you need to know about the market, is how to make your gross, your net". Useful information, but needs simplifying.
"IF YOU BUY SOMETHING CHEAP ENOUGH, YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO PROFIT" |
I hope not. |
I wonder if a merger is on the cards... |
Here's the Canal+ split mentioned by II this morning. Canal+ to be listed in London next week. A takeover target for ITV perhaps... :0)
Shareholders agreed Monday to split up the French media conglomerate Vivendi into four companies in an effort to boost the value of the various firms. Resolutions to confirm the creation of independent Canal+ television, Louis Hachette publishing and Havas advertising firms, plus a Vivendi holding group were approved by more than 97% of shareholders. Vivendi announced 12 months ago that it would study breaking up the group to unlock value in its different operations. Chair Yannick Bollore said the company estimated Vivendi's share price was 44% lower than it should be due to the fact it is a conglomerate. Canal+ will be listed in on the London Stock Exchange from December 16. Havas will be listed in Amsterdam and Louis Hachette in Paris. Vivendi will also keep its Paris listing. |
thanks for letting us know |
ITV has been spoken of as a takeover candidate for years. |
Sure but we (and many market commentators) all agree ITVs ‘sum of the parts’ is greater than the market cap (thanks to Studios) that was the similarity. Unlocking that value is the main catalyst in waiting.. |
thats kind of you |
I wouldn't class ITV as a conglomerate. They have an integrated model, which, for them, makes some sense, IMO. |
Found some more on Canal+ - crikey this sounds just like what ITV need to do
This strategy aims to address the “conglomerate discount,” where the sum of the parts is often undervalued compared to a more streamlined entity. |
Hans - re the Canal+ item above - this bit caught my eye “will not be required to follow mandatory stock market regulations on public offers”
Not sure why they should be able to do that - but wondering what regulations exactly they can avoid? Interesting. |
Huckers - after only 1,962 shares on Friday there was only one place left to go - Zero! ;) |
No buybacks today it seems? |
Approved!
Canal+ coming to the London Stock Exchange December 16th!
Will they shake things up in this sector guys?
To the Moon!
