Posted at 07/3/2011 09:18 by dontrader Well the much heralded "offer" has come in subject the due diligance. All the talk of £19 to £20.50 per share have greatly exagerated the indicative offer of £16.30 which rises to £16.50 with final dividend of 20p added in.They are not getting my holdings at this sort of level.

Posted at 26/2/2011 12:30 by flintoff Very new to all this, but as long-term holder of Forth Ports am astonished at both near silence on Bulletin Board and in press after approx 13% rise in share price in last week or so.Any thoughts? |
Posted at 23/2/2011 11:21 by alanrussell According to the Independent talk is of an offer as much as £20.50 per share, however talk is just that. Historically a spike in FPT share price on takeover rumour has proved a very profitable time to sell. Sooner or later it is likely to be taken out but is this the time???????????????? |
Posted at 23/2/2011 01:16 by highland terrier Mail Online states that another takeover bid is doing the rounds.Talk of a knock out £830 million or £19 a share cash bid from private equity did the rounds. |
Posted at 01/12/2010 17:12 by alanrussell Not a pile of poo at all! A sound company, well run. Granted the share price has not been too exciting of late but that's because, IMHO, it had risen too high in late summer.Indeed during some of the recent days when the market dropped sharply the price held up well showing impressive strength. So much so that I was beginning to doubt if I had done the right thing selling at the start of October. But then today, with the FTSE250 up 2%, the price remains stationary. Hard to figure which way this is headed. |
Posted at 06/10/2010 13:44 by alan russell FWIW I've sold all my shares in FPT. I still consider it an excellent company and a good long term investment, however even the best company can be too expensive. Regarding FPT itself I feel the price is only supported by hopes of a bid - fundamentals just don't justify the price. Maybe a bid will come again but it may not or, more likely in my view, it could a year away. Regarding the broader market IMHO it is too high - too much bad news yet to come out. After the recent good run a fall back is on the cards. Put the two together and I prefer to sell hoping to buy back in at a lower price again.I could be completely wrong; make up your own mind. Good luck. |
Posted at 04/7/2010 13:51 by alanrussell From the Independent 2-7-10.................... Our view: Buy Share price: 1141p (-38p) after a tempestuous half-year, Britain's only listed ports company published a pre-close trading statement yesterday forecasting results well ahead of last year. Forth Ports which owns and runs seven facilities including Grangemouth, Rosyth and Tilbury is still smarting from the collapse of takeover talks with major shareholder Northstream, a consortium which includes Arcus European Infrastructure, Peel Holdings and RREEF. It upped its bid twice before walking away at £14 per share, valuing the group at £640m, in late May. Forth's management maintained that the offer undervalued the business and specifically the potential of a 400-acre plot the group owns on the Edinburgh foreshore. But the share price plunged by more than £1 nonetheless. The good news is that Northstream still owns more than a quarter of Forth's shares, so the door cannot be completely closed. In the meantime, progress is good. Although short sea containers at Tilbury are still behind last year's levels, and container volumes at Grangemouth are flat, forest products tonnage has "increased substantially" with animal feed also on the rise. The group has slashed costs and boosted efficiency as well. Perhaps most important of all, enquiries for additional dry and liquid bulks and offshore renewables have increased markedly. Better still, Forth's Nordic recycling business has seen a boost from improving commodity prices. Plans for the development of Leith Docks were approved last week, and plans for a biomass power station, in a joint venture with Scottish and Southern, have been submitted. Notwithstanding a forecast multiple of 21.1 times 2010 earnings, Forth looks well-placed with good earnings certainty, increased new business, a big surplus land bank and a fledgling but exciting renewables business. Acquisition or not, Forth Ports looks strong. Buy. .................... I would rate FPT a solid hold but necessarily a buy at present IMHO. The market generally is likely to take a lurch or two down over the coming months so a better price may well present itself. Equally it is hard to see any great upside in the immediate future. No need to hurry to buy. |
