Considering the share price is currently 75p, any bid would need to be nearly double where we're sitting now to at least match the 140p Volex offer. I'd love to see that happen, but do you think a 100% premium is realistic?

Sorry, meant to type nearly 2.8m shares were bought. Amazing the price went down today. Staggering level of manipulation going on here.

Someone is accumulating. Nearly 1.8m delayed buys reported after the close.

Absolutely. TTG really is in a sweet spot right now. With countries such as China beginning to impose reciprocal tariffs on the US, TTG should see increased demand for their products. One of the major benefits of being a global manufacturer. Thank you President Trump!

The share price is holding up surprisingly well, considering the general carnage in global markets. Decent buying volume too. Hopefully bodes well. Happy to sit on this and wait for good news.

Highly doubt it Mushrooms. I suspect it will get swept along with the general market malaise due to fears about the overall impact to UK PLC. However, on the positive side, I think it greatly increases the chances of a bid by a non-US competitor wishing to get around the tariffs.

Those problematic US manufacturing plants are beginning to look much more attractive now....

“If you want your tariff rate to be zero, then you build your product right here in America, because there is no tariff if you build your plant, your product in America,” Trump said.

If the company miraculously survives to report its Final results without being taken over, the entire Board need to be shown the door, for it's handling of the results and the botched reporting of the undisclosed offer. It's particularly distasteful Directors haven't put their hands in their pockets to support the flagging share price. I know we're currently in a closed period, but they had plenty of opportunities to buy shares before this whole sorry saga. The uncertainty they've created has destroyed the investment case in which is otherwise a solid company. That's entirety due to the Boards actions imo.

I've never heard about the 45 day rule. However, the FCA stipulate that a company must publish an annual financial report not later than four months after the end of its financial year. That would take us to the end of April. So the clock is definitely ticking. In the meantime they've managed to make a proper mess of the share price. Utter incompetence.

The radio silence is very suspicious

Oh dear. The share price is going up. Wonder what they will try now to put a dampener on it!

The timing of that RNS is very suspect IMO. Why wasn't it released at 7AM when most RNS's are released? Just before the announcement, the share price was beginning to show a little strength at 82p. It then went down to low 70's and a bunch of buyers suddenly appeared on the scene. Stinks of manipulation if you ask me. Just reinforces my view this is currently in play.

I wouldn't be surprised if institutional investors have been given a nod and wink. Suspect they will begin piling in shortly. Hence the need to hold back the share price. As usual, PI's will be the last to find out what's truly been going on behind closed doors. Personally, I think we're approaching end game in the next couple of weeks. GLA.

It's amazing that despite the Artemis stake building, the share price has barely moved. It does feel like that it's being deliberately held back for some major pending corporate action to materialise.

Assuming that I'm reading the RNS correctly, it looks like Artemis have just taken a 5% stake in TTG. All that's needed is the share price to go up! So frustrating.

You're forgetting about Douglas Bay Capital (private equity outfit). They've accumulated a 6.6% stake in TTG since the failed Volex bid.

Ouch. Now we know why Blackrock has been reducing so aggressively.

Interesting trading. Every time there's a small purchase, it's immediately followed by an equal or larger bunch of small sells. For whatever reason, someone is trying hard to suppress the share price and they're doing a pretty good job. Roll on the Finals!

Lol. Hate to point this out, but 0% is also a precise percentage marker. Anyway, Blackrock's shenanigans doesn't detract from the value argument represented here. My point is there may well be some further weakness in the lead up to the results. However, like you, I do believe this is in play. Just need to be patient.

I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but how do you know Blackrock intend to stop selling at 5%? Of course, I hope not, but they might continue selling the remainder of their holdings in the run up to the Finals. It will be interesting to see whether Douglasbay Capital pick them up. I believe they were the buyers when Volex disposed of their TTG stake.
