are they going to buy reckit benkiser

[chevey] 14/7/2010 17:44

Yet another acquisition on its way. Just no stopping this company.

[meljohn] 18/5/2010 10:31

Results look decent enough ...

[shuisky] 05/5/2010 09:07

This is clearly bouyed by takeover speculation. It will be nice to see this get back to a sensible pricing level, because it growth drivers are quite attractive.

SSL Intl downgraded to hold from buy at Deutsche.

[cambium] 26/4/2010 20:09

All duly passed move along please

[rampant debra] 26/4/2010 14:46

i was thinking the same.

From

BE And SSL also mentioned
IK This is on the back of the old takeover rumour, right?
BE Yup
BE Reckitt named as the potential buyer once more
BE That's after Reckitt talked about potential acquisitions at a meeting with RBS last week
BE Although RBS has long been a fan of the SSL takeover story.
IK How's the stock doing then?
SSL International PLC (SSL:LSE): Last: 882.00, up 40.5 (+4.81%), High: 885.00, Low: 852.00, Volume: 343.39k
BE Now, this is one of the oldest rumours out there
BE And it makes sense for SSL to get taken out at some point
BE But the question everyone I've spoken to today has asked is: why now?
BE Shares are up to something like EV of 12 or 13 times EBITDA.
BE Which isn't hugely expensive if you believe the growth story
BE But, if you're Reckitt, P&G or Glaxo, surely the first question when pitching this to shareholders will be "why didn't you do this a year ago?"
IK No puns please
BE Yes – indeed.
BE Or at least make them about corn plasters rather than condoms. We've heard all of the latter ones far too many times.
BE Oh, and should also note that Reckitt has Q1s due April 27.
BE It's still benefitting from the lack of generic skag, so we can probably assume the numbers should be okay.

Whats going on today?

I fail to believe a single new condom could do this to the shareprice.

Altho it sounds like an impressive piece of kit.

17 March 2010,

Condom brands will be allowed to run TV ads before the 9pm watershed from September as part of a shake-up of the rules governing advertising.

[petethehippy] 30/3/2010 14:22

I'd say Panmure Gordon are on the money and that price will happen sooner rather than later.

[enami] 26/3/2010 08:44

Trading Statement seems to be well accepted, finish over 800p?

[yewtrees] 23/2/2010 15:46

SSL INTERNATIONAL PLC

Interim Management STATEMENT

SSL International plc is today publishing its Interim Management Statement relating to the period from 1 October 2009 to date.

Our geographic spread and the strength of Durex and Scholl supported by continued investment in innovation, advertising and promotion, has ensured that the encouraging sales growth seen in the first half in the core branded consumer category has continued, in spite of the difficult trading environment seen in certain territories. Our recent acquisitions in the CIS are also continuing to perform ahead of our expectations.

The balance sheet remains strong; we have recently established a new syndicated bank facility of £410 million pounds until June 2013, replacing a previous £220 million facility. There have been no other significant changes in the financial position during the period.

Garry Watts, Chief Executive commented:
"Both Durex and Scholl continue to perform as expected and the recent acquisitions are growing well. We remain confident of achieving our stated target of increasing earnings per share by 50% over the three years to March 2012."

ENDS
