Another new 52 week high this morning. From the Telegraph market report:

Outside the FTSE 350, England football kit maker Umbro rose 3¼ to 176¼p. KBC Peel reiterated its buy rating on the shares after PPR launched a bid for the sports retailer Puma.

It said: "While an imminent bid for Puma would rule out a subsequent bid for Umbro in the short term, of which there has been recent speculation, this deal highlights the potential value now being ascribed to established sporting goods brands."

I can't find Bubbly in the Daily Mail but Geoff Foster reports another rumour - this time Nike:



It also makes a headline in the Times:

12 month high this morning. One report says:

"Sporting goods manufacturer Umbro hardened 5 to 178 after KBC Peel Hunt repeated its 'buy' recommendation on the group, highlighting the value now being ascribed to established sporting brands".

sharw - thats why I like to stand well back from all the noise and see it from a distance, if you believe in the products or services of a company and have done the fundamentals as well as you can, and it looks good from a long term perspective technically you generally have more success, and you don't get caught up in every little twist and turn of the markets.

This 3 yr chart shows clearly the action a symetrical triangle with + divergence gave us a clue as to the likely direction of the break, the first break to the downside was false as indicated by the +divergence we then broke to the upside confirming the +D then we have the pull back and retest then we take-off.

You can see we have closed at a new high, this old resistance line may need to be tested too, or we could go higher straight away, we will hav to wait and see.

rallyman - I know the feeling. I almost pressed the sell button yesterday on the grounds that it would be a gentle slide down until the next rumour. Now we find it trading above Friday's close. The only thing it proves to me is that it is well nigh impossible to be certain about what "the market" is going to do next.

That was issued after market close. The fact that he has bought means the company is not in talks so this is not necessarily a good thing.

Meanwhile the Telegraph says:

"Umbro jumped 10¼ to 171p as rumours of a bid for the England football kit maker persisted. Numis said an offer from the sporting goods giant Puma is possible. It said: "We believe paying as much as 200p per share for Umbro is not beyond the realms of possibilities and would equate to 14 times earnings. Production synergies could be significant." After the market closed, Umbro announced its chairman, Nigel Doughty, bought 2.37m shares in Umbro at 168.6p, meaning Umbro cannot currently be in bid talks".

The Times:

"Umbro, the sportswear maker, gained 10¼p to 171p on strong volume as speculation rumbled on that it was a target for Puma. Traders said that the story seemed to have appeared after the German group told bankers earlier this week that it was looking for football-focused acquisitions, without naming any specific targets".

The Independent:

"Hopes that Umbro will soon find itself on the receiving end of a bid approach drove its shares 10.25p higher to 171p. Gossips reckon Puma, the sporting goods group, is keen on buying Umbro and may strike soon. Numis Securities said the speculation should not be dismissed. It calculates that by acquiring the group Puma can achieve significant cost savings. The broker said: "We believe paying as much as 200p per share for Umbro is not beyond the realms of possibilities." The London-listed replica football kit maker has seen its shares soar nearly 20 per cent since the start of the week".

sharw - thnks for that, explains the jump, we may get a retest of the breakout zone especially if the ftse comes off a wee bit today. Depends how much truth is in the bid news tho.

Any idea of a bid price?

Looks good for a gradual rise up to 1.60 level and more institutions may come on board esp with the China connection.
