RE: Any other bidders?25 Dec 2020 11:48
Had the US company wanted the whole company they would have bought it -so IMO they have bought the parts they want .Unless Joe & Paul have large acquisitions in mind ,which I consider to be most unlikely ,a return of capital is most likely & could be 5-6p per share ,leaving a profitable smaller company (which excludes Mouldings which has been a Banana skin for years & Automotive which was never a good idea ).My view is that our 2 remaining subsidiaries will also be sold ,as will Haydock (£2-£3mill for this type of commercial property) & more cash will be generated & what will remain will be a shell ,into which a private company (not involved in plastics )will be reversed .Alternatively it is possible that a decent sized private plastics company could reverse into CRU ,keep the subsidiaries & we become a much bigger company with shares which should be more liquid & reflect fair value .
Either way 15-20p next year is entirely possible allowing long term holders to exit with a profit -something which seemed unlikely a week or two ago
