I cant see the take over offer failing but I can see it being revised upwards.
Rarely is the first offer the last one. People were saying the same thing when CFE took over DMM " Take it...its the best you will do"...well the first offer was only one of a few revised bids upwards.
Ok...so that's a differnet industry (mining) but I see the principle as the same. The share price action is exactly what I saw with DMM. IG buying coming in to either..
a) Hope for a bigger offer put forward and make another 5%+ gain ( which is alot once you start using big numbers ) OR b) An investment fund or the like starts to take a big stake in the company.
Cephalon can't buy on market now can they...now that they have made a t/o offer? So why else would there be millions of shares on the buy side?
Keen to hear others thoughts....sadly though Ive done some doe on this stock with the current offer :(
