I am sure that we will get the interims next Tuesday. If they were going to delay, they would have said so by now. I am expecting a decent set of results given the big sales boost caused by lockdowns.
I would be surprised by a bid by ABF. Not only have they got their hands full with Primark, but up until today the competition guys would have had something to say because of premiers part ownership of Hovis and ABF’s ownership of Kingsmill
The perceived wisdom has always been that potential suitors have been put off by the high debt level and the pension deficit. However because both of those problems are well on the way to being solved.....who knows.....maybe a bid ?
