@ Father of 2/Pumping777
I called him this morning to get 5k units more of PHB, will let you know if he got it. Exit price noted.
@ All
In view of the Access allotment document put up by Pumping777, is it not better to stay away from PO's as it seems you one cant get the desired volume these days not to talk of the long waiting periods. Still waiting on Oceanic certificates

I suspected Seun was going to lift the ban when I saw yesterday he has added " report to moderator" link.
Thats a good way to make everyone involved in keeping the content of this forum sane.

@NBA, Roughcut, thanks guys, I actually started here, then had to stay at the other side for long. Much respects to the much respected gurus here. Your incisive analysis cannot pass unnoticed, I will even suggest Yar Adua includes your names in the next MON, OFR, GCFR, ETC ETC awards.
You people are doing too much to lift the ignorance and poverty off our people.

I am expecting to see some rise in the shares of IBTC, this is because the changes that will occur in their business operations as a result of their synergy with Stanbic is expected to be in the positive. However it is not all up hill as it may go down a bit before the climb.
Also taking their last result as a basis for analysis, and putting their 18.5 b shares into consideration, the p/e will be around 50 something, looks high to me.
What do the gurus here think before I go ahead and load this one?

I consider the POs side betting and just buy what I call my own "rights". Why try for 100K units of Zenith if you're are not going via preferential allotment

Public offers have been a no go for me since this year, I had shunned all of them, and I now see I am correct to do so. Though there are some very good ones, the thing that annoys me most is the delay; I can get better deals from the secondary market.

Why try for 100K units of Zenith if you're are not going via preferential allotment  Even preferential subscribers are not guaranteed anymore. From the Access Bank allottment, they were a candidate for takeover!!!!!!! No PO's for me. But those Stanbic people are stupid. Why wait for PO when you can negotiate with the board. Why use PO to bid for over 2.6B shares of Access. Na hostile takeover be that.

So simple, set up a SPV to acquire the shares. That is the way to go. Just get your US$ ready since this is not a Naira offer  Was to start on the 7th of December but no news since then.

Can you imagine? It seems round three of consolidation will commence next year ooo!!. Chei they just want to usurp those guys while they were napping? There is an article in Business week about UBN buying seriously into Afribank Offer as well - I wonder what that means? Now that PO's are always oversubscribed, take over is not possible - at least not through PO

That was junk journalism. The part referred to was the portion that Union Bank is underwriting. Consolidation is on. Expect between 10 to 15 banks at the end of the day. Except for MTN  MTN na PP not PO

Hostile take overs of banks are now even more plausible than before due to this new law postponing CBN verification to post allotment. We may see more attempts of these, and series of law suits etc, SEC & CBN may have a big task ahead of them.

The only thing I noticed from reading that business day news is that South Africans are trying to form a cartel here, watch it, they are selling part of MTN, an SA company, through another SA bank IBTC, (owned by Stanbic) and advertising it through an SA affiliated newspaper, business day. Is it healthy for our business environment, who can tell? And to think our guys are begging to get there and slave for them, while they raid the companies here for wealth?
Watch the links.

54% of the shares on offer at the time they did the PO and not 54% of the bank that doesnt look like a takeover bid to me

True, but you forget to note that a large enough percentage can also be mopped up on the floor in addition to the PO (and there's no one to govern who buys what from the floor), could be done directly or indirectly, buying into intitutions, other companies that own large enough percentages of the shares

I will not see it this way. We have to allow healthy competition otherwise smaller African companies will also shut their doors on us. Nigeria has benefitted. If your market is healthy you should not shut out foreigners.

Welcome Ckenneths, I believe your in the right place, I can assure you of getting hooked and forgetting SMN. Thanks for your insights too. Warm regards to all who are back, this early. Afribank & UBN, As Wanaj0 says it junk journalism but for a purpose, Just concerned why UBN wants to buy another 'slow' coy Afribank, I see them as bereaucratic, Welcome folks once again

There were 4.7B shares on offer and plus the over-subscription of 160% they are absorbing and GDR an additional 8.5B shares of ACCESS will be listed of which stanbic have been allotted 1.9B so with outstanding shares of ~6.5B that makes a total of ~15B that will be listed so stanbic will be owning about 13% of ACCESS they are nowhere near acquring controlling shares in the bank. By the time FCMB PO is completed 35% of the bank will be owned by off-shore institutional investors so the point i'm making is there's no single entity that will be allowed to own controlling shares in these banks even if the banks belong in the second division league Third-division league banks will definitely be swallowed up in the next two years!

Roughcut - I agree with you my man, but that may only be step 1 (they may not be through yet), and also those percentages you mentioned are dangerous enough, especially if the close 2nd only holds 2% or much less, these are megacorps, 1% is huge, when shareholder voting on issues comes around, could sway things in their favour a little (1 party owning 13% or 35%, and over a million sharing the remaining) by the way, i don't post much, but wanted to give Kudos to all the "gurus" & regular contributors for their continued selflessness, you know yourselves , wanajo, pumping, easimoni, fatherof2, roughcut, emmaachile, aylala, shigidi, windywendy, yodiyokun & others (sorry I can't remember/type all names, but you know urselves) ** aahh and how could I forget my man, Temmie10 , I think our styles have a few similarities,
