I don't dismiss the idea at all. In fact I think it is very credible given Nexbis will be taking 200m out of the 1bill 5 years contract from Saddington.
Saddington is probably waiting to receive further cash from the Gas tank deal before arranging for finance to takeover Nexbis.
I wonder what sort of price we could get. I won't be happy with anything less than 2 dollars. Fair value for future growth would be something in the order of 30 times earnings. I just wonder whether that will be 2009 or 2010 earnings. So anything from 1.5billion - 3.0 billion would be just fine for me.
Probably wishful thinking though.
What makes you think they are going to make a bid to takeover Nexbis?
Why aren't they buying on the market?
