Little old Betaville didn't get much credit in today's British newspapers for smoking out the DS Smith takeover bid tale yesterday morning.
I guess this website will have to smoke out an even bigger takeover bid of a London-listed company to get noticed by chums and rivals on the British national newspapers...
Sometimes it takes a few hours and sometimes it takes a few weeks for little old Betaville's alerts to be confirmed.
With Redrow, though, it took two and a half years.
Loyal readers might recall that back in the summer 2021 little old Betaville published a RARE Alert about the takeover rumours surrounding FTSE 250-listed housebuilder Redrow, whose founder Steve Morgan is the largest shareholder...
I see arch rivals at Bloomberg have finally decided to follow up little old Betaville's recent UNCOOKED Alerts about OCI N.V., the Euronext-listed Dutch chemicals company.
Bloomie today reported that the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company is in talks with OCI about buying the whole business for $5 billion. Below is the link to the Bloomie tale:..
Arch rivals at Bloomberg have finally followed up little old Betaville's UNCOOKED Alert about the rumours surrounding Continental AG, the German car pars manufacturing giant.
Late yesterday Bloomberg reported that Continental AG is studying the sale of automotive assets including its autonomous mobility business. Below is a link to the Bloomberg piece:..
I must apologise - it would appear little old Betaville completely missed the fact that The Guardian also followed up last week's UNCOOKED Alert and were kind enough to give this website a mention.
Moreover, The Guardian seems to have spoken to its own proprietary sources and dug out an interesting line, which I have pasted below:
"A City source told the Guardian there had been some discussions with suitors."..
It took three stories but Euronav NV, the Belgian shipping company, finally confirmed little old Betaville's series of UNCOOKED alerts.
In case you don't recall, little old Betaville published its first UNCOOKED alert about the takeover rumours surrounding Euronav in June. Below are the links:

Little old Betaville reads everyday in the newspaper business sections how there has been a drop off in dealmaking but it does seem to quite tally with whats happening on the ground in the London market.
Today, for example, Macquarie - the Australian infrastructure investor - has just announced it wants to buy London-listed waste management company Renewi for 775p a share. Below is a link to the press release:..
Another day, another confirmation for little old Betaville.
In case you missed it this morning Alfa Financial Software Holdings, the London-listed asset finance software company, confirmed little old Betaville's earlier UNCOOKED alert. Below is the link:

There weren't too many deal stories in the British Sunday newspaper sections this weekend but there was one piece that caught little old Betaville's eye in the Saturday business section of The Times.
Emma Powell, who writes the Tempus column in the The Times, suggested BP, which last week saw its chief executive Bernard Looney step down amid allegations, could now be vulnerable to a takeover bid. Below is a link to her piece:..
