Invensys in shock £1.7bn rail sale to Germans

Shares in Invensys, whose rail business is regarded as one of the success stories of the British technology industry, soared 27pc on the news of the deal with the German engineering company.

It surprised analysts after selling the rail division for just £50m less than market value of the entire industrial software company. As part of the deal, Invensys will hand £625m back to shareholders, as well as a further £625m to its own pension fund.
But the sale of a business regarded by some in the City as Invensys’s “crown jewels” raises the prospect of a counter-offer for the unit or even a potential break-up bid for the entire company. It could also raise concerns over the sale of another major British technology business to a foreign owner.

Canada’s Bombardier is seen as a another potential bidder for the Invensys rail business, and interest could also come from Chinese and Japanese rail companies such as China Southern Rail and Hitachi Rail.

General Electric and ABB have also been seen in the past as buyers of the whole company and the sale of the rail unit raises the prospect of a counter-bid for the entire business.

Deutsche Bank raises price target to 295p from 230p - also some others have done similarly.

I did hold these for a while but not currently - great jump if you have them, Skinny!

Ah that German deal explains it - thought there must have been something like that in the background

I have held them several times over the years - but sadly, not now!

Isn't that just typical eh? I'm not kicking myself though - would be black and blue by now!

Thankfully I hold some. I paid so much interest as they are in CFD account, but well worth it.
Expecting £4.

Well done ahoj - I was tempted when I posted yesterday, but these have had spikes like that before which have amounted to nothing - so that exactly what I did - nothing!!

I was kicking myself for not selling six months ago, when spiked and I was quoted for 266!
I sold 30% ealier today at 314 and will keep the rest for £4+. Pension will be resolved and the rest, two third of business will be in a better shape after this deal. IMO

Yes - well done Ahoj!
