iomart Group - takeover off, where now for the shares?

By Steve Moore | Wednesday 17 September 2014


Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.


Commenting on the announcement of a bid approach for iomart Group plc (IOM) I concluded that ‘the price action suggests that shares in iomart would materially drop back on a takeover agreement not now being reached and, whilst the long-term investor may be content to hold, those with a shorter-term horizon should be cognisant that a financial interest here currently looks to effectively be a bet on whether or not a takeover can be agreed’. The following updates with the offer talks now terminated and the shares, having been over 280p, currently trading at 226p.
