Looking back at this company's history it seems when you were there they were very much at the peak of their powers where acquisition was the main growth path.
Things appear to have changed significantly in recent years with major changes in strategy.
Good insight and it sounds about right. A few weeks ago I said if they managed to get around £350m for ESS they would have done well. That was with 2 suitors still in the mix taking into account competitive bidding.
I think there was only one serious bidder at final call so your call of £250-£300m makes sense.
The delay as you say is probably due to them mulling over whether to accept or not.
If I recall he's a low grade capita employee and his interest is via an employee share save scheme at an average of £1.10 ?
His shockingly shallow knowledge of CPI was immediately apparent (didnt even know the basics). His consistently poor advice has all been eminently laughable and abusive ever since.
He's at least 80% in the red, probably wishing others end up in the same predicament as him. I guess he's looking for a perverse sense of comfort.
Incredibly nasty character indeed, just pull the flush (you may need to do it more than twice with this one)
Ignore this guy, I made no such comment whatsoever. His posts are just laughable desperate rants, abusive and constant utter nonsense.
Drowning man with a broken portfolio and zero credibility. He must be at least 80% down on this stock. Never called anything right on thos thread ever. Empty vessel making pointless noises. They dont call him Average_1 for nothing LOL
Just stick him in the filter and pull the flush......

@isalingebruik
Reg was banking on a takeover since last week. He was absolutely convinced.
Its not happened for him.....
Can't see it myself, the price is tanking. If there was anyone interested they will wait until it hits the bottom. Who knows what that bottom is right now !
