RE: Next acquisition19 Jan 2025 09:13
If I’m honest I’m almost certain it’s for an acquisition.
From their interim report
The Group continues to assess further potential complementary acquisition opportunities, in addition to the acquisition of CAKE announced on 11 December 2024, and further acquisitions remain a key part of the Group's expansion strategy.
A key part of their strategy is expansion through acquisitions. So if they are raising capital and doing it quick it means imho there’s a major aquisition coming up and if it’s anything like as exciting as cake, we are going to be in for a mega January. I think we will see more acquisitions than ever this year and all will add significant value to the business and continue to grow its market cap.
