The point is not "why anybody would pay more" it is "why would Murdoch pay more if £10.75 was accepted?" I would like it to be more too, but enough shareholders will accept £10.75 so he needn't pay more.
Reiterate price of £13.50.Now were talking and getting a quality price.For those that do not understand why anybody would pay more that £10.75, a question often asked in the past i recommend, they take up fishing or buy a copy of "share dealing for dummies". This buyout is far from over. GLA
show read deferred. Gla
As i said last Saturday "can kicked down the road".Another indecisive Minister but as anticipated will do what she is told in the end.Regrettably will likely have to take £10.75 for shares worth £12 currently. Ah well even 20/25% better than nothing. Those that are getting it tight financially should sell now and go back to their penny shares.
I'm confused? How is bad news good for the SP?
Not looking good! referred to DMC...
Really hope this doesn't go through! Murdoch runs this country as it is. Probably will though, more proof of the politicians he has in his back pocket!
Is the cheque book at the ready, or is it a referral to the CMA.Given the inability of this Government to make decisions and procrastinate the latter leads by a short head.Remember the days of Lord White and Lord Hanson now they knew how to close a deal. The penny sharers and AIMers must be in a lather now.Serves them right no earn on Boards like this. Gla.
Decision day approaches, maybe.
It will never happen.
and then the can gets kicked down the road. Take over will probably another 7/8 months. I hope it never happens. Undervalued offer anyway.
Why would Murdoch pay more? Please do not ignore Amazon Prime and the like of Netflix etc and the Sports portfolio that can be purchased at a price that will look cheap in 24 months. Plenty are looking for good profitable businesses going forward with readily made foundations. Flight of fancy, yes, but M&A still exist. GLA.
Put your money where your mouth is then and put a spread bet on them to fall. You will make a tidy profit which should offset your BT shares.
Back to the 8's in nine days.
Ridiculous statement!!
I agree. There's no business reason why Murdoch would need to pay more, and there are no other bidders. I presume (hope!) that the drift in the pricing is because of a feared delay in getting clearance because of the MayDUP farce and the start of a new parliament, or else the fear of a referral to the CMA which will prolong the wait and increase the risk of something (else) going wrong in the Murdoch machine. If the bid is blocked I can see the shares falling to something beginning with £ 8-- but Sky is still a sound business (and had a good dividend) so should recover to more than £ 10.75 in a year or so in any case. The current gap is almost 12% which suggests that the market thinks this isn't going to go forward. a further 12% down from here would be £ 8.45 and if it got there I cannot see it staying there for long. In summary, possibly /hopefully more upside than downside from here on a 12 month view. I have positions in both but I currently have more skin in ITV than in Sky as I expected more action in ITV in a quicker time frame - I may have got that wrong :-(
Surely that doesn't make any sense? The price is never going to go above the £10.75 offer price from Fox. If the sale goes ahead, Sky Plc share will no longer exist.
Depends if Murdochs buyout goes ahead. If it does I can see this stock jumping to £12 if it doesn't it will be back down to £8.
Sky Germany has won further success for their sports programmes . £10.75 does anybody else believe this to be cheap buy price? GLA.
Awaiting Karen Bradley -her announcement due in 10 days. Gla.
Cable and Milliband would be a great name for a media Company. GLA.
Yes, the news that Vince Cable and Ed Miliband are opposed to the takeover has had a devastating effect on the share price in the past couple of days....
Some deadwood politicians are rooting against the takeover and you take that as a sell signal ? My opinion is the takeover will go ahead, these things nearly always pan out the same way, there are always what at the time appear to be sensible reasons not to take part which after the event it can be seen were exaggerated. I did well out of SAB Miller even though I only bought in at a late stage and over the period it took to happen there were plenty of people saying it would not go through but they know no better than anyone else they are just guessing just like I am. For me to make a profit I need lots of people like norrab1 to believe it will not happen otherwise the price would just go straight to the offer price, there always have to hurdles for the horses to jump when punting on this type of thing.
Not looking good for Rupert......
Nice broker upgrade from Jefferies at 1200 - really? when the agreed offer price is 1075 (subject to approval mid June) Can't see that happening but believe the bid will go through!
