Tomorrow will signify 3 months of almost dead silence since takeover talks were announced. This will either be due to a lack of interest or due to very stubborn demands from the board. I'm holding on assumption of the latter. I suspect CB were (and probably still are) very close to making an offer, but the increasing scrutiny from UK authorities might have given them pause for thought. The great irony of all this is of course IMG are only needing to sell themselves after hostile maneuvering from another foreign firm, only this one was American and therefore excused for their undermining of British tech firms
Held and sold and now holding again... I am optimistic that some positive news flow is just around the corner here... having waited and waited... and waited some more. I sense the planets are aligning again on this sp (and about time too!) GLA https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/IMG.LS/opinion
I would believe teresa May would only be to glad for a offer from cayon bridges for imagination, and to safeguard uk jobs , I can see no real conflict. Of national security interest here, and the securing of Imaginations workforces jobs a more important priority. Imho
That's a great piece of news, and should I hope put a lift into imaginations share price today. And a bid very soon from cayon bridges . Looking good
Trump bars Chinese-backed firm from buying U.S. chipmaker Lattice, this should make things interesting today!
Just looking at some tweets about i Phone 8 one seemed critical of 'progress' and foresee a future 'i Phone 9': 'i' Phone 7 - No HEADPHONE jack .'' . 'i' Phone 8 - No HOMEBUTTON . . . 'i' Phone 9 - NO SCREEN [just an empty BOX] Because 'i' is for IMAGINATION
The Apple keynote event starts at 6pm
On stage tomorrow, Apple is expected to announce its newest computing chip for the iPhone, the A11. If Apple discloses graphics capabilities that are hugely different from what Imagination's designs are known to be capable of, it will be a hint that Apple has already ceased tapping Imagination's intellectual property.
Bloomberg story saying Canyon Bridge preparing their bid. Stay tuned.
Sold the lot @ 1.4767, well happy, only bought on monday @ 1.34 Buy back if sp dropes , fingers crossed, now where is the Bubbly.
Thanks for your insight & views
My take on it EG solutions is a completely different type of company and take out price, , a heavy premium would come into it if any company wanted to get there hands on imaginations Intellectual property portfolio ,and use it in there own developments , Apple would definitely like to get there hands on imaginations IP portfolio ,but can't bid unless another bid is made , because of its last approach , there is far to much intellectual property there to loose to a competitor. , I believe they are well prepared to show there hand after a first bid is announced from canyon bridge capital partners tomorrow or very soon . And if that happens then apple just might have to pay what it should have offered to imagination in there initial take over approach . It's most likely that Apple will still steal imagination cheaper than its first approach . But who knows what kind of money and power lies behind cayons/ China's ultimate offer. It's really a financial and political chess game . Which should be really exciting should them two offers be made. And we possibly only have a few days to wait for a first offer. I'm happy to be corrected on any of my Assertions...... GLA
Interested in the recent speculation but what would warrant a heavy premium to the share price if an offer came forward ? Software firm EG Solutions agreed a takeover at a discount to their current share price (shares falling from £1.25 to £110 !)
Yes, my target is 2 pounds, so anything higher would be icing. Nice uptick again today...
Possible starting offer price on £ 70 million turnover, after Apple's turnover taken out , on a typical take out price of 8/10 Times turnover industry standard = approximately a £ 2.10 But if apples still interested in bidding for imagination technologies a take out price of £3.50 could be justified only by Apple, should a bidding war take place. . But that scenario is unlikely . But not completely ruled out.
Solid uptick here the last few days on sale rumours. Purely for fun, anyone want to hazard a guess on a possible price offer?
"Told you ages ago IMG was heading south back to £1.20 level but did anyone listen ?" Pardon? It's gone up slightly since you stopped shorting it ( :
The usual gambling by speculators till we know more from the company.....but it ain't over by a long way till the fat lady sings.
..was heading south back to £1.20 level but did anyone listen ?
Sold the lot @ 1.24, before total Investment is wiped Out, good luck if still holding, you will need it I'am sure.
The Titanic didan't go down this quick.
Daily decline, this sp is going all the way back to under 1.00, anybody think differently.
Strange similarities - 2 year deadline, shock split between UK and previously close foreign partner, dispute over divorce settlement (if any), sudden unexpected upturn in business, utter confusion over what happens next.
