Lets be honest they know a ballpark figure before they even started formal discussions. Like a football transfer you don't go and throw a 20 million bid at city for haaland if you want him you start at the lower end of his worth to get the ball rolling

Thought you wasn't wasting time on here today? headless chicken springs to mind.

This is where sharebel is hiding after predicting wood group would be down to 20p. He just wanders around boards talking rubbish. Hes consistent, consistently wrong.

No expert but how do you expect them to force II's to sell at 44p? they cannot buy the company at 44p it would result in them trying to force a hostile takeover and buying that amount of shares would force the price up.

BD can't wait for him to return here then absolute melon

Kija you probably know more than me but blackrock have been in dubai since 2008. So a fair while to have an ear to the ground

You're such a little twerp. That is standard wording. Of course everyone is aware it may not be made but it is standard legal wording. Utter dipstick. How's the predictions going what happened to the 20s?

Haha sharebel is here. How can he show his face after all his miserable predictions. First it was 20s, then early 30s then below 36s. None of which came to fruition. Consistent, consistently embarrassingly wrong. Melt.

Yes, even considering the current 40p share price, I still believe a potential takeover offer could land in the 240p to 260p range, and here’s why:

1. Massive Premiums in Takeovers Are Not Unusual

Sidara's last offer in 2024 was 230p per share, significantly higher than the current 40p market price.

In takeover scenarios, bidders often pay a huge premium over the current price if they believe the company has strong long-term value.

If the market has priced Wood Group so low (40p), it likely reflects uncertainty, financial struggles, or short-term pessimism, rather than a true assessment of its strategic value.

2. Sidara’s Renewed Interest Signals Confidence

Sidara wouldn’t return to the table if they didn’t see value in Wood Group.

Their previous valuation was over £1.5bn, meaning they likely believe the company is still worth that amount.

A lowball offer (e.g., 100p or less) would likely be rejected, especially since Wood Group’s assets, contracts, and expertise remain intact.

3. Debt & Refinancing Complications

Wood Group's debt situation and refinancing efforts could influence the final bid price.

If Sidara wants to acquire them and absorb/restructure the debt, they might push for a lower offer.

However, offering something too low (e.g., 100p or less) could make it unattractive to shareholders, especially those who were holding from much higher levels.

4. Possible Shareholder Pushback

Many institutional investors held on through the previous 230p bid and might still demand a strong premium.

Accepting a 100p-150p range would be a massive loss compared to previous levels.

My Prediction:

If Sidara wants a quick deal, they might test a 150p-180p offer, given the 40p current price.

If Wood Group negotiates hard (or if there’s another bidder), we could still see a 240p-260p range, since that aligns with Sidara’s last serious valuation of the company.

The final price will depend on whether Wood Group can convince Sidara that its long-term value remains intact.

➡ Most likely scenario: If Sidara is serious, I think they'll start low (150p-180p) but might have to raise it closer to 200p-250p to win over shareholders.

Again this was chatgpts opinion (in asked it to take into account current sp.) and not trying to sway as my personal opinion is around 85 to 95p . Dyor etc etc

Same here. Same here.

Based on the previous 230p per share offer from Sidara in 2024 and the current situation, I think a realistic offer price for Wood Group in 2025 would be in the range of 240p to 260p per share. Here's why:

1. Sidara's Previous Offer (230p)

The last offer was already a premium to Wood Group’s trading price at the time. Since then, Wood Group’s financial position hasn’t significantly improved, and the refinancing talks indicate they still need strategic direction.

2. Market Sentiment & Premiums in Takeovers

Typically, when a bidder returns, they either stick with their last offer or slightly increase it to secure shareholder approval. A 5-10% increase on 230p would put the range around 240p-260p.

3. Debt & Financial Position

Wood Group’s debt refinancing and recent struggles might cap the upside. If they were in a stronger position, they could demand more, but since Sidara knows they need stability, they may not go much beyond this range.

4. Competing Bidders?

If another bidder emerges or shareholders push for a higher price, we could see an offer closer to 270p-280p, but unless Wood Group shows strong recovery potential, a significantly higher bid seems unlikely.

My Take:

If Sidara is serious and Wood Group’s board is open to a deal, 250p is a reasonable expected price, with a slight chance of 260p-270p if competition emerges. If Sidara plays hardball, they may try to keep it at 230p again, but that seems unlikely given their renewed interest.

Chat gpts opinion obviously not mine.

So on the flip side why hasn't something leaked about it being dead in the water? Daft.

Yeah I mean all scenarios haven't been discussed at all have they...

Where's those 20s sharebel you gave me solid financial advice to sell. Now im out of pocket.

Not saying I think there will or won't be one but do you think they just stop working over the weekend? An offer could come anytime.

Ignore that i didn't post half of what i meant to. Shows why i need AI's help.

This is the section showing all the buying and selling Goldman Sachs did for their clients on March 6th.

I nearly jokingly posted sharebel will be back predicting below 37 and thought no i wont summon him and embarrassingly he actually did. give it up you absolute dipstick.

If you genuinely think that why aren't you selling?

You called 20s. You are such a moron it's unreal.
