Cheshire, you say mates rates buy in, and that might be true, but it's likely to be in a format that MM will accept, for him to be allowed to retain control, unless MM has become disillusioned with RemainCo now he is 50% shareholder in Ingenuity.
Iain Mc stated £500m for 49% of a division in an undervalued UK conglomerate. This SHOULD set the price.
Is £1bn undervalued for Nutrition? Under the correct management yes, but we have a bunch of amateurs running this so £1bn looks quite attractive at this stage, especially since you can get a piece for the entire group for £500m currently!
Selkirk stated a bid would come in Q1 2025, and they intend to move quickly. If it's Nutrition, we might see activity very very soon. If not, that'll be soul destroying and I'd question why not.
That aside, hopeful but not expecting a TU that isn't horrendous.
