Metro Bank Takeover Rumours (MTRO)

All that did, is what merlot man did and every other bank in existence-rumour of takeover give shorters value...

What were GBY's thinking anyway ? A stock getting hit for, at the time, potential fraud (at least in markets mind), and on they go ramping a takeover who does that?

Same reasons as the bulls talk about this flying daily since Goodbody's circa 1800p period "Potential aggressive takeover" For a laugh

That’s right Bob Massive takeover

Takeover to be announced today . 155p i guess.

Goodbody started it all i think around 1800p - "hostile takeover potential" Ever since that day, faith was sealed for all whom invested

Im afraid, i am rackers, and i am panicking - because those around advfn long enough, know i bought metro at 1800p when Goodbody suggested possible aggressive takeover Yes, i was that fookwit I even believed the merlot man, and bought 270p as well

Penny Dropped Reverse Takeover Perhaps There is something amiss with Billionaire Bacals 9% holding here When someone reads the script of TSB annual report it reads IDENTICAL in strategy! Who has been advising CEO Frumkin? Suspect this is the real effort being played out! Https://twitter.com/DeepValueHunte1/status/1367925056781881354

A takeover of Metro Bank looks near IMO

144.6 is the end of jamesDyson The daily MTRO promoter across so many media channels since 1800p (Goodbody calling a potential takeover at that time) he now has zero credibility, and is sucking in gerbils to his 'private groups' where he can rant shit all day hahaha

Merlot Man reckons there might be a takeover soon I hear Might be worth buying more tomorrow lads Anyone find out who he was? I heard he was the biggest shorter in town 😂😂😂

Now, these Zooey Gerbys will say to you “Major banks may push into P2P and metro would be in a prime position for a takeoverâ€￾ Obviously If they claim that, @clueless in the sector Gerbyville Evidence is all over this thread JPM and then Sachs were going to buy mtro for deposits, oh, and a merlot man to push that along re lloy So who will they suggest for a P2P major takeover? Well, let’s see who turns up in a bar next month Loooool

Here we go 'Metro the challenger bank is now a sitting target for a takeover, anyone wanting to get into the new UK market, out of Europe bank, it looks attractive in valuation.' News wire....

yes, a real takeover target now. Will be bought this year, price would be around £3 but if may well attract many bidders and £4 could be the upper target price. BUT lets take out £1.40 resistance first .

i dont know many that would offer above 58p for a takeover However, i think James could offer 1800p. It is the only way he can ever be right

making way for a takeover now. Should see £1.50 soon.

I think that is daily punters on a 3pm rns but they have been at that since 1800p when Goodbody suggested an aggressive takeover potential

Bad news coming, obviously Or maybe another Merlot man Lloyd’s takeover 😂😂😂

Jeez Senti, you still replied in less than 60 seconds. You must refresh at some rate! Another tit-bit, Babcock will fly and will get a takeover bid before the year is out, my spider senses are tingling ;)

Wonder why we would close ISA's to new customers....? Our bond is rallying.... CEO buys 1m quids worth... takeover bid coming...? https://www.p2pfinancenews.co.uk/2021/01/08/ratesetter-to-stop-receiving-ifisa-transfers/

Swen Lorenz - 1/1/21: BREXIT SPECIAL: A LIST OF POTENTIAL BRITISH TAKEOVER TARGETS Metro Bank (ISIN GB00BZ6STL67) is one of the UK’s so-called “challenger banksâ€￾ that tried to take on the local banking establishment through a better service offering for consumers. It ended up challenged rather than challenging, and its share is now down 97%. A larger bank could snap it up, solve its funding issues, and build on the company’s undoubted strength in brand recognition and branch network coverage. Https://www.undervalued-shares.com/weekly-dispatches/brexit-special-a-list-of-potential-british-takeover-targets

Oh its just so complicated looks like a takeover build...LOL

KK. A £500m takeover equates to 300p a share, and a £1bn takeover equates to 600p a share :)

With it being a suggested imminent takeover bid as you say onehanded, it should crack on to 200p today, unless you think offer is 10p? haha

Takeover out!

Here we go from the city - price target £1.90 'now that Metro has sold it's residential mortgage portfolio and squared the books or at least reduced the risk on, it has set itself up for a takeover bid in the coming months. This may well have been a potential block to any takeover as any toxic mortgages would have been a major deterrence factor.'

Way overvalued in sector terms Way overvalued in Smart eps terms Way overvalued because its shite list goes on And poor johnykettle average is 1800p when Goodbody first suggested a potential aggressive takeover loooooooooool

Inflation rates are creeping up, inevitable with the amount of money pumped into the system recently. If you are a long term investor then the Metro bank share price is undervalued significantly just on this alone. Rates up = bank shares up. They are also quite a good takeover target for a Goldman Marcus type operation although you should never buy shares on the hopes for a bid approach. I would suggest that a deal will be done at the 11th hour re brexit and 140 will be seen mid next week then 200 by early Feb. If no deal then probably down to 90 and slowly creep back up :)

Well well well, maybe James and Ham were on to something re takeover??? Think the publisher only had 2 mins to knock it up so excuse lack of creativity hTtps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwZ8HF2SgfY need to excuse me now. £3975 Live 1 hour broadcast to do in Asia. Psyche myself up loooool

Metro to buy TSB? "'But it would be a shame if TSB was swallowed up by a big bank and disappeared, or was bought by private equity because history tells us that impatient owners don't work out well. Another challenger like Virgin Money or Metro Bank could be a good buyer.'" Full article: https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-8994763/TSBs-future-hangs-balance-takeover-talks-collapse.html Metro now being mentioned as a potential acquirer/JV in multiple scenarios. Co-op, now TSB. Tide has turned.

Odey and Co's short positions have fluctuated wildly for 2 years The CEO has bought stock, as per required to do so, times his salary GS? God knows. Normally they play with countries. Somebody maybe bored in the office there ...... One thing i do consider is that before taking on the job, the CEO will have known the share buy requirement. Still took the job The buy at 114, usual blag Last one, a bit more to it given its size in one go But, value today not there in this sector/macro, for a takeover, even if they have covered the cost 50 times shorting it Lower it needs to go for the sake of a deal... break up job. Some element of interest for somebody, yet the majority of it needs disgarding. Cheaper SP takeover imo - for licence or whatever. Who knows Either that, or the CEO is shorting 3rd party too looool

They have played this well for somebody. i do think a takeover is on the cards and a couple of institutions are representing on that. But i dont think this price. Think its after a cashcall Frumkin would be well in tune with all that so i reckon his average holding may be a good gauge re not put himself underwater on it. bought around 65 or so and 114 lots? Dont know how much each time. maybe 80-90p average? So cash call may come for around there - hence i expect it soon if bank sector keeps slipping, or else be no discount lol

Amigo takeover news coming Thursday

I'm thinking Goldmans are increasing their holdings from 10% to perhaps make a takeover bid...

amigo takeover being announced 2mara

Looks like smaller banks are being looked over as takeover targets. Seems to be the big rumours going around.

Could easily be a takeover here
