The premium paid for a takeover is usually 30-50% with private equity offering 40% on average, apparently.

Let’s hope that the sp rises to at least the £2.00 level if there is is eventually a sniff of an offer.

Investor Outlook for 2026

Technical analysis in early January 2026 shows a "Strong Buy" signal based on moving averages, with a share price around 2.10p. However, analysts warn this is a "trailblazer" play—if it secures formal UK Ministry of Defence contracts in 2026, the upside is high, but any misstep could lead to a rapid collapse.

Moving up slowly on tiny volume but it is only going to take one sizeable sell and this will drop again..being optimistic 2026 could be the year to see a few contracts and revenue increase💶💶💶💶☘️☘️🤞🤞🤞

Morning Kern

And hopefully a prosperous New Year to one and all. Glad you are in the black at the moment. It’s been a long old slog with this one but if we see a profit this year, which is on the cards, we should see a nice rise.

Had GGP on the watchlist but never acted on it. Dohhhh! Hindsight would have made me a wealthy man. Mainly in UK financials which are doing well and 50% invested in American funds which resulted in a few sleepless nights earlier this year but have recovered well considering the turmoil.

A really speculative punt is Defence Holdings ( ALRT) which is a 3 bagger at the moment but hoping for great things in the coming months. It’s a boom or bust.

Great start to the year but as we all know Oxb can be volatile. I remember the good old days when this was a penny share and I thought it was going bust. Being stubborn I hung on and saw this peak and sold ( pure luck)in and around the £10.00 mark as it dropped.

I do read the discussion board on ADVFN , some useful insights, but was banned a couple of years ago from that club when the locals didn’t like anything other than optimism and happy thoughts.

Having bought in again I now have an average of £3.77. Didn’t sell at the peak nor buy at the bottom but who envisaged that massive drop.

No more sleepless nights and appears to be profit making this year.

Hoping a big pharma swoops in and buys Oxb at a ridiculous price. Nothing like wishful thinking.🤞

Bond- Inv… this used to be a R&D company with huge outgoings and little to show for their research but over the last few years it has totally transformed into a production company and is widely expected to make a profit this year.

If you are genuinely interested there is plenty of info out there and reckon that in a years time £7.00 will seem cheap. G.l

Deutsche Bank Research raises Oxford BioMedica to 'buy' (hold) - price target 735 (380) pence

Is this positioning for a low ball offer? Hoped we had found bottom.

Let’s hope we can break and hold the £7.00 in the coming days.

On the 18 Sept when the sp was in around £2.00 the company stated, “ As announced at the Company's results for the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Board is pleased with the progress made in implementing strategic and efficiency initiatives but believes that these, together with Spire's freehold property and a well invested asset base, are not yet reflected by the market in full.”

Having had this on my watch list for a while I bought in at 193p, a little high as it seems, but reckon the bod are serious about selling. It’s anyone’s guess as to whether we get a buyer or bidders and how much they are willing to stomp up.

It’s definitely undervalued and results are pretty much as expected.

If we get interest in the coming weeks this should fly🤞

Britain's biggest private hospital operator has handed prospective suitors a deadline to pursue a takeover of the company amid shareholder pressure on it to explore a sale.

Sky News has learnt that advisers to Spire Healthcare have told parties including private equity firms to register their interest by 20 January.

The date is not a deadline for formal offers, but nevertheless underscores the desire of Spire's board - led by the City grandee Sir Ian Cheshire - to explore options for maximising shareholder value during the early part of this year.

Spire runs 38 hospitals and more than 50 clinics, medical centres and consulting rooms across the UK.

🥳🥳🥳🥳

JCEP…Not missing the point at all. As you say this is a game changer and worth £billions..should have hit the 50p this morning. Bless🤪

I have to agree with previous posters.. this isn’t exactly what we and the market were hoping for ! Summarising an interview, especially a long one, can be very difficult let alone letting AI lose on it. Good luck with that one and hope it works.

Not sure what to make of Arsan Global but time will tell. No mention of India but instead a focus on Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Poland, and Vietnam even though they seem to have a Delhi office.

A very loose arrangement perhaps but anything that can drive the sp is welcome. Is imminent fundraising on the cards?

Thought we would be up around the £7 by Xmas…. Thought wrong👎🏿

Why not keep Dubai as well ? Are they certain of orders in Saudi or is this another stab in the dark. Jam is getting a little mouldy.

Sp holding up remarkably well considering…

Hi Kern, could be something as simple as a big holder selling some before the end of the year. Stopped trying to figure out the ups and downs. Let’s face it Oxb is one volatile share. Not much of an all round Santa rally this year…very subdued. Keep hoping for a buyout but that could be years away.

Think I’ll wait for a change in sentiment.
