Flybe soars as Virgin Atlantic reportedly mulls takeover bid

Shares of UK regional airline Flybe soared Friday in the wake of reports Virgin Atlantic was in talks about a takeover bid.

Virgin Group's interest in Flybe comes as the transatlantic airline seeks to connect long-haul operations with smaller UK airports.

Flybe said earlier this month that it was exploring a possible sale after reporting that pre-tax profits more than halved in the first half of the year owing to headwinds from higher fuel and currency costs. Story provided by StockMarketWire.com

SP up over 25% as now!

Nice if you bought in yesterday.

in pennies, the rise is very small
in any case, be very wary of buying on news of a potential bid, as often they fall apart before completion

Cynic
Do you ever invest, if you had got in first thing when I posted you could be out now a couple of hours later 30% up!!!! No risk.

Now go and get some EUA before it’s to late.

i do indeed invest, both for my sipp (about 45 stocks) and a small number for trading

Confirmation statement https://www.moneyam.com/action/news/showArticle?id=6219050

Up 50% now!

Finished up over 71% no less.

SP Flying again today.

Bitter rivals Sir Richard Branson and Willie Walsh are to lock horns in a bid battle for ailing regional carrier Flybe as experts warn failure of the country's biggest regional airline could be catastrophic for a string of smaller airports. After years of struggle, loss-making Flybe has put itself up for sale following warnings of "material uncertainty" over its future. - Telegraph.

Looks like Keith Everitt has bought 4 1/2% of the share capital unless I’m mistaken https://www.moneyam.com/action/news/showArticle?id=6224506

Happy day!!!

Yes certainly good for trading at the moment.

looks more to me that this mooted bid is not going ahead

Nobody really can say for certain at the moment Alf one way or the other.

agreed, but would you risk money and buy today - monday if you insist?
i wouldn't

No I wouldn’t but there again I’m reluctant to buy anything just now with the market as it is.

masterly inactivity is what i think warren buffett calls it

papers are full of doom and gloom forecasting a heavy recession in usa within 12 months
