Ignore the noise. This is playing out now via the takeover run book. Board step aside to indicate they will not stand in the way and clearing things up for a sale.

Board clear out started ready for a bid.

The bad news is and has been priced in chaps. The most serious falls were caused by large stakeholders being forced sellers. A situation that seems to have passed now. You can only price this so low. It’s bargain basement at the moment.

The drop on no volume this morning seemed very strange... Now it bounces back... Fascinating..

Shorts never got out of IRV etc etc, there to the bitter end, they are jumping off here, very strong signal. I expect some may also be going long at these levels... Expecting these to have a really big day some time soon, like 300p plus rise....

Moshin, I "think" they are trying to work out an accurate pictire of the SH base / work out where Shettys shares are... I presume they have asked all large holders to declare their holdings as part of that, as this is unusual... I think they are also asking them to provide updates to holdings even if they are not "RNS'able"

Thats just me speculating... But I think that is what is happening.

150,000 buys now going in over the offer, stock getting tight.

This will explode at some point. The level of interest here is directly proportionate to the share price, forced selling has lowered this to a crazy level, you would be crazy not to be buying now. Yes MW were right about the share ownership structure, but that has shafted the holders and will benefit the new buyers.. This is a highly profitable business that has been successfully "attacked" but buying pound coins for fifty pence pieces should be taken advantage of.

Every man and his dog loading up now.

TBH you could say it dropped on no news.. Looks like it was forced selling at large scale which caused it.

Doubt they are "catching fire" at 824.. But probably very happy to close down here...

In 150,000 chunks, direction looks up from here... Totally stupid SP at under 1000p.

All the large after hours buys... what price will he pay though? I think 1400 to 1500

City trying everything to load up and shake out pi’s. Shorts will want to close before it lands.

Takeover rumours popping up all over the place now... Something has leaked.

By the look of things.. No surprise, incredible bargain if they can scoop this up at these levels...

The underlying guidance for 2019 has been upgraded to reflect the impact of the JV, as well as consolidation of Boston IVF.



2019 revenues guidance: USD 2,500-2,540m (previous guidance: USD 2,425-2,465m)

2019 EBITDA guidance: USD 575-585m (previous guidance: USD 566-576m)

2019 share of profits from associate guidance: USD 7m

2019 net income to equity holders guidance: USD 320-330m

Should be a good day..

Cracking buy at these levels.. This statement is the key one...

"We note the recent weakness in the Company's share price and I can confirm that we are not aware of any subsurface, operational or commercial reasons that would have caused such decline. The production performance of the Lancaster EPS wells is above our base case expectations and we remain on target to provide an update at the Capital Markets Day in March whilst continuing to make progress towards the next operational steps for our portfolio.


Looks like games are afoot or someone is offloading a slab of shares.. Either way, buying now looks very low risk to me for those willing to hold through this time period..

Tullow is just too cheap under 70p thats the bottom line, its a very sensible buy and hold.
