Post 13459...does anybody know what his terms are?...surely subject to change under the wider economic conditions or company specific...


A takeover would only take place on his terms IMO.

A bit of watering and sunshine...

I am confident that holders will be rewarded.fruit plants take a few years to bear fruits.

Ignore the derampers who are praying it crashes to get in at a cheaper price.

Ibnculb, I don't think so, SMS holds a golden share, he's protected himself from such things. A takeover would only take place on his terms IMO.

[ibnculb] 09/12/2024 08:07

Citycon, s4 could be taken out above SMS head with a bid directly to S Holders. A reasonable offer more than £1.25 would see a lot of acceptances. IMHO

[barnes4] 08/12/2024 22:37

Why does this matter to Whatfor?

[cityconindex] 08/12/2024 22:31

S4 Capital a little guy in a big pond, the party is beginning

Sometimes it's good to stay with a loser rather than cut.. I was way below my stop loss here at one point but decided the bigger picture said stay in. Time will tell if I was wise..

[diku] 07/12/2024 13:54

Like the saying goes...run with the winners and cut your loses with losers...nobody really rings the bell after a run up when it will turn and keep going down...or you sell and it keeps going up...too many variables at any given time...be it company/sector specific, geo political or other...

[rikky72] 07/12/2024 12:17

It's the usual: be fearful when others are greedy and vice versa. Easy to say but harder to practice.

[swinsco] 06/12/2024 15:43

Great week here. Holding its gains even as the wider market falls. Buyers afoot!

At the Group's last full year results, Content accounted for approximately 60% of net revenue, Data&Digital Media 24% and Technology Services 16%. The long-term objective for the practices is a split of 50%:25%:25%.

Sir Martin was CEO of WPP for 33 years, building it from a £1 million 'shell' company in 1985 into the world's largest advertising and marketing services company, with a market capitalisation of over £16 billion on the day he left. Prior to that Sir Martin was Group Financial Director of Saatchi & Saatchi Company Plc for nine years.
