RE: Only way Boom will be sold7 Aug 2021 14:24
Agreed that business growth has been phenomenal and almost totally accounts for the share price doing so well. However there have been significant new shareholders taking up strategic positions over the past 9 months - AQQUA, 192 etc. which has given the price a kick up. The AAA potential offer is 35% above the current market price. Market doesn’t like the bid as it’s too heavy with AAA shares and isn’t placing 80p value on AAA shares. OTC commences on Monday. It’ll be very interesting to see how the prices are quoted. No other potential bid will come until AAA shows its hand by 16th August. Spotify have shown the way in acquisitions and Apple are hot on their heels. I fear for Audioboom if they stay independent. How can they compete with the financial firepower. Yes Audioboom would still grow and find a niche for those podcasters and special talents who don’t want to deal with the inflexible mega companies. But I just can’t see a Boom domination as you suggest.
