this article is 12 days old but I've not seen it posted previously...

TIME FOR A TAKEOVER?
"Another FTSE 250 dividend stock that I believe is set for a takeover is Spire Healthcare(LSE: SPI).

I should say that this is not a dividend champion in the traditional sense. Shares in Spire only currently yield 1.6%. However, the payout is covered four times by earnings per share, leaving plenty of room for growth in the years ahead -- and flexibility if revenues come under pressure.

With earnings projected to expand by 49% this year and 14% for 2019, it's entirely possible that management could increase the payout in the years ahead as well, as Spire builds on its capital investments made over the past few years.

There's also a chance that the company could fall prey to a larger competitor. Last year, the private hospital provider was linked with South Africa's Mediclinic. Mediclinic, as well as its FTSE 100 peer NMC Health, could return to make an offer for the firm as they continue to expand their private healthcare empires around the world."

looks like UBS agree as they have bought 5.35%

[anderson3] 08/5/2018 18:35

Last results included one off costs, not foreseen circumstances, they are cheap, well managed, and could be taken over.
