Company buyouts

Has anyone else noticed the increase in company buyouts since the EU referendum? It’s my opinion that EU companies are selling out before the Euro crashes. I’m interested in fellow drivers opinions.

No I hadn’t noticed. Imagine a jigsaw where none of the parts actually fit together properly. That’s the euro/EU.

Tesco announced today they are buying Bookers for £3.5 Billion

If that’s the case then they’d obviously find no one willing to buy. :bulb:

It’s time for everyone to stop the scaremongering and the government to just get on with getting us out sooner rather than later.Preferably by annulment of the European Communities Act and forget about the sham of article 50.The result just being another version of Norway and Switzerland in Europe.Just like it was before we joined.But,unlike those examples recently,without us allowing the EU to set the terms.

While if the Euro can’t survive without our net contributions.Then they’ll all have to go back to their own currencies which would be no bad thing.As for us charity begins at home. :bulb:

Well, there is a surprise. After a few quiet weeks Carryfast has returned to hysterical Daily Mail mode once again.

Have you got any facts to show that company buyouts have increased or is it just your opinion?

Tesco buy everything. When I worked there they would have something made for them like the reach device then buy the company so no one else could have it.

That’s no different from many other big players, the likes of Microsoft, IBM are Apple are just the same.
And they will all take advantage of a volatile market to make accusations at a favourable price.

It’s called business! :open_mouth:

No one is ‘accusing’ anyone of anything apart from you when you say IBM are Apple Evil :smiley:

Well, if you keep up to date with the news, you will see my point. There’s been a fair few buyouts if you care to look.

Imagine this; What if politicians have investments in these big corporations, after all most of them are shareholder companies. If this were the case, I doubt very much the MP’s would vote to lose money by such an annulment of the Act. They would need time to secure their investments.

I’ve looked and I can’t see anywhere that states there has been more buyouts since the EU referendum than before!

Hmm. Maybe its an "alternative fact" that theres been more buyouts recently?

This completely. Companies the size of Booker and Tesco don’t work it out over the course of a weekend. Their conversations will have started 1/2 years ago, same for any big buyout, so none of what you see now in news will be the result of the referendum, it’s just too recent. Later this year into 2018 is when you’ll probably start to see mergers and buyouts started at around the referendum.

You’re trying to tell us that it is happening, Scott. You post up some more of your dubious ‘FACTS’ (sic) to prove it.

Last year there were 1355 domestic M&A deals, lowest in 20 years. Total acquisition deals for 2016 was 177Bn, down from 394Bn in 2015.

The only real buyers are those that can buy in dollars or earn in dollars, the UK companies became 20% cheaper since the pound crashed.

But heh, don’t let the facts get in the way of a good internet rant.

Can I suggest you add the prefix “dis” to your username. I know you may well not like it as it is Latin, you can always go with the English translation “alternative fact promotor” but that may be a bit long…
