Nice !

With the oil price drop and the peace talks, the play will be the travel stocks today.

Many will have part sold into the spike and will relish buying back if it is a pump and dump.

Be nimble. Take advantage.

Plenty of upside for the LT holder

They can walk away immediately as TED released the details but I think they are just starting to dance.

A revised bid around 190p most likely, or a white knight appears.

Sycamore, up the offer or walk away chastened? GLA

Ted Baker PLC

Response to press speculation

The Board of Ted Baker PLC ("Ted Baker" or the "Company") notes the recent press speculation and confirms that it has received two unsolicited non-binding proposals from Sycamore Partners Management L.P. ("Sycamore") in relation to a possible cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

 

On 18 March 2022, Sycamore made a proposal (the "First Proposal") under which Sycamore would offer 130 pence for each Ted Baker share. Following the Ted Baker Board's rejection of the First Proposal, on 22 March 2022 Sycamore submitted a revised proposal (the "Second Proposal") under which Sycamore would offer 137.5 pence for each Ted Baker share, an increase of 5.8% on the First Proposal. The Board of Ted Baker has also rejected the Second Proposal.

 

The Board of Ted Baker carefully reviewed both of Sycamore's proposals with its advisers and concluded they significantly undervalued Ted Baker and failed to compensate shareholders for the significant upside that can be delivered by Ted Baker as a listed company. Ted Baker is a leading global brand with a strong future. The management actions taken over the last two years have put the business on a firm footing and it is now well on the way to recovery following a turbulent period. The Board is focused on delivering value for Ted Baker's shareholders well in excess of the price offered by Sycamore.

 

There can be no certainty that any firm offer for the Company will be made nor as to the terms on which any firm offer might be made. This announcement has been made without the consent of Sycamore.

Dividend shares to buy today

The first company on my list is the financial services group TP Icap (LSE: TCAP).

At the time of writing, shares in this enterprise offer a dividend yield of 8.9%. According to City analysts, the yield could rise to 11% next year.

This business specialises in trading financial instruments for clients around the world, a model that can reap significant rewards when volatility surges. Indeed, the company’s operating profits have bounced over the past couple of years as market volatility has jumped.

Unfortunately, rising costs have weighed on the firm’s bottom line. This pressure is expected to dissipate over the next two years. As costs fall away, analysts are expecting profits to jump to £175m by 2023. That is up from £67m for 2019.

With profit rising, the company should be able to afford to return lots of cash to investors.

That being said, this is a highly competitive market. Plenty of firms are trying to edge in on TP Icap’s turf. As such, I cannot take its growth for granted. Higher costs and additional regulatory headwinds could also hit growth at the group.

Despite these risks, I reckon this is one of the best dividend shares to buy today, and I would add it to my portfolio.

Carrot stick ain't going to work on Vlad.

Keep the sanctions until Vlad vacates Presidency.

Anything else would suggest leaders are only acting out a pre planned script.

The hypocrisy in the reaction to 9/11s ...5k innocents versus the death toll of Ukraine's innocents, even argue Russia's innocents less alone the late 20th and 21st genocides is truly shocking.

When did the world acceot that these human lives are so much less than the US lives. In the Lord's eyes they are not.

Politiically motivated flu from the start said many.

More daily mail clickbait full of flotsam and jetsam and lacking any discernable depth.

I remember the time when journalist had genuine scoops.

So we are no clearer to the reason for the spike other than conjecture but the papers are full of all things good for RR.

What great PR for RR., priceless.

Patience is a virtue with this share and others.

The Elon Musk angle is my favourite tentative speculative link and if so, then RR. would be mooning on Mobday.

Dare I suggest wait and see.

Brokers notes aka Andrex

Super summary.

Puts it in play regardless for the fund managers which can only be a good thing.

Been a holder since the float in 1987 so it owes me nothing. As my investment paid back multi times over.

I do not want to lose my certificated shares nor the name to be swallowed up.

Would be a great tie up but unfair to LT shareholders.

Re M&S where is Philip Green what you need him for another £6 M&S bid :)
