‘BP have waited and waited and what have they lost?’
Nothing as of today but if one comes in soon and acquires Avacta for a few quid a share and they go on to take a big chunk of the chemo/cancer market in the following decade the rest of BP might feel a bit silly for waiting a bit longer to save another £10m.
In other words it’s a stupid point. One might argue that BP considered Avacta too expensive a few years when valued multiples of what they are today with almost no in-human data but there comes a point, a sweet spot you might say, where BP thinks it’s better to move now rather than wait for further derisking.
I think it’s close and therefore worth the risk to add more at 34p, others like you think the opposite and so are selling down here - I guess that’s what makes a market and we’ll know who’s right, with hindsight, in six months or so.
