As I said after I met Mats ex FO at Vale Park last night, Mat wants a tenner and will play hard ball.

We have a multitude of Private Equity.
If separation complete Softbank may want THG Ingenuity still.
WPP may want Ingenuity.

Possibilities are endless.

Funny thing is, absolutely nothing on the strategic front. Separation must be very close to being complete now. They could sell each division to different Private Equity to maximise value!

Regulars on here will waiting for the price reaction between 2pm and 3.30pm.

Now whispers of a certain Mr Green getting involved?
Not sure that would go down too well but if it trumps the Candy bid bring it on.
My choice and the perfect fit would be Amazon..

Tanking loooool, hope the Nasdaq runs up hard and absolutely obliterates your short.

Everyday is now FOMO day.
Who in the world is going to be trading this now, with news that could drop ANYTIME!

Yesterdays 2 After Hours RNS's, lovely, everyone in a panic.
Put everyone in a spin!

Super Bowl Formation in play perfectly!

IGNORE THE GAMES.

They are not going to sell this business at this price. This is just a good excuse for the share price to run a bit as it overall trends back up.

Shorts are on a collecting mission, anyone selling, is just feeding them.
Yesterday 10.3m after hours trades, guess it will be high again today.
Games afoot, will soon come to an end.
If this 'naturally' went off buys/sells, it would go ballistic, however it has been 'managed and manipulated' for months!

Last few days activity is just ludicrous! Completely stinks. It's a rigged market.

surprised to see shorts still posting - think we are in for a good weekend and next week more great news to come:-)Nice bowl forming

Once the shorts have closed , I suspect they will start going long to catch the upside

Yanks will wake this up.

Jubber, nice pointless post. Watch and wish :)

Tug of war
Over 11 million traded on broker dark pools today plus many more still to be recorded.
They want to keep it down to close shorts whilst LSE wants it higher.

[hooded claw] 20/5/2022 12:25

£1.40 is 20% of £7. 100 - 20 = 80%Not that hard really as it never said 80% upside from £1.40

[1apache] 20/5/2022 12:24

Need more custard pies.

[davidro77] 20/5/2022 12:22

Good to see the price has moved up.Can anyone make sense of how liberum calculate 80% upside from 140p equals 7 quid target:"Liberum Capital set a target price of 700 GBX for the company, which when compared to the THG PLC share price of 140 GBX at opening today (20/05/2022) indicates a potential upside of 80.0%."

Tanking now as expected. Smoke and mirrors.

Would I be right in thinking that the candy men and a certain yacht owning failed department store lord might have a more than nodding acquaintance

I could be wrong but this one raises more questions than answers to this cynical bear

Don t be getting sucked in unless you have appetite for risk

Lipstick and porcine come to mind

Will be watching but not investing

THG: property mogul Nick Candy mulls over takeover bid


20th May 2022

George Iddenden

Property mogul Nick Candy, who recently tabled a bid to purchase Chelsea FC, has expressed an interest in a takeover bid for ecommerce giant THG.

Candy’s company, Candy Ventures, said it was “in the early stages” of considering a bid however that there was no guarantee that a formal approach would be made.

Candy, who currently owns One Hyde Park in Knightsbridge, released a statement after markets closed saying he is ‘considering a possible offer’ to take THG private.



The property mogul will now have until 5pm on 16 June to make a formal offer or walk away.




Yesterday THG said that it had rejected a “highly preliminary” bid from a private equity consortium made up of Belerion Capital and King Street to acquire the company.

The consortium had offered an initial bid of 170p per share for the online retail group which would have valued the ecommerce firm at £2.07 billion, a valuation which the THG board claimed “significantly undervalued” the company.

THG’s founder and CEO Matt Moulding last month said he had already rejected a number of bids to take his company private.



In order to go through, any bid would need to be backed by Moulding himself, who owns a ‘golden share’ in the company that allows him to veto any offer.




Moulding has previously revealed he regretted the London IPO, saying it “sucked from start to finish”, which fuelled speculation that he could take the business private.

Nice post Investor. It's amazing how people think "It can't be a high offer because of current SP".The poor ignorant blinkered fools
