£3.50 is a realistic target in 3-5 years time . Anything around that and I’m out

Not all institutions are guaranteed to vote in favour of the share price cash offer. So they would need a sizeable portion of private investors to back the deal alongside the institutions that do, plus there’s a minimum % of all share holders voting in favour. To avoid low ball offers being accepted

When a bid was put in for DS Smith of 373p

The share price rose slowly toward that price after an initial jump to 320p

IDS has had an initial jump to 275p, and the initial bid is 320, with a further bid on its way presumably.

So I would think in the coming weeks the share price here will gain toward the 320p mark.

Czech guy is already a share holder, with long standing interest. Int paper weren’t holders or long standing potential bidders for DS Smith.

Same with AGEAS and DLG. They weren’t long standing or holders.

So I would think further bids from Czech boy are on their way and so the price rise is inevitable .

Even if he walks away after a 2nd bid, the SP will remain uplifted from 220p even if it drops back a bit from the bid rise.

If all is well with this share I just can’t understand why it would drop by 75p.. the divi was only 26.

The thing is the share price was 200p when he bid 320.

So it isn’t unreasonable with that mark up to see a 2nd bid at 400p, especially with competing bids

Anything over £4 I’ll be delighted

If the next offer is 360p I’ll be pleased

If this bid ends up at 3.67 I would be happy. But I imagine it is 290 as that would be 40% from 210

Where is the news on price ? 3.67 , unless we see evidence , is make believe

Very disappointing share price . Disappointing markets.

We really need a bull run, just to get back on track, never mind progress

Could everyone leave a comment stating if they think the dividend will cancelled, held or increased ?

Just a one word answer from everyone

My friend had his shares in an isa with orca , who I’ve never heard of. He said they went out of business and his shares were forced into his normal trading/general investment account and then told to transfer to another provider.

If that’s true and possible, it makes the case for dealing with someone like Halifax , Barclays HL etc a better choice . The isa is for the long term, not to be kicked out of

Hopefully she’s a dividend maintainer

Shame this has gone down I thought we were on the road to 650p recovery

Guessing this hasn’t recovered until we get confirmation on the dividend in may.

While we expect it to be maintained and not cut, I think we can rule out an increase for a 3rd year. Despite their progressive dividend policy

IP3LY , I appreciate your recommendation but I feel candy man would be equal in overestimation to my suggestion of a genie. Beetle juice was accurate

The sanctions will be lifted on oligarchs . We are not that far away perhaps just two more years

I’d buy more but only below 4.50. I’ll hopefully reinvest my divi but not decided how high I’d buy at with the reinvestment , or take cash

David , saying beetle juice 3 times is much more fitting than referring to him as a genie. Thanks for bringing that likeness to my attention lol

I’m holding my shares. Just because I’m holding my shares
