Shares of Tempur Sealy Crash After It Ends Contracts With Biggest Customer
Tpx shares were down 28% close of business 30-01-2017
SNH will not be affected much, if at all in my opinion but 3 years plus patience needed if holding them.
Some more info .. (who knows, maybe not so 'bad' afterall?)
Shoprite and the African operations of Steinhoff are to be merged into a new group called Retail Africa, major shareholders of both retailers Christo Wiese and the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) announced on Wednesday.
The deal will result in Shoprite acquiring Steinhoff’s clothing chains which include Pep, Ackermans, Shoe City and Tekkie Town in exchange for shares.
Shoprite will also buy the furniture and appliance retailers that Steinhoff owns via JD Group. These include Russells, Bradlows, Rochester, Incredible Connection, Hi-fi Corporation and Sleepmasters.
Furthermore, Shoprite will acquire Steinhoff’s hardware chains Buco, Pennypinchers, Timbercity and Hardware Warehouse.
Retail Africa would be the continent’s largest retailer with an annual turnover of R200bn, employing 186,000 people, it was noted in Wednesday’s statement said.
Steinhoff proposes to acquire Wiese’s Shoprite shares, held in a company called Titan, and those of the PIC in exchange for Steinhoff shares at a ratio still to be agreed.
The deal is likely to trigger a mandatory offer to Shoprite shareholders who will be offered Steinhoff shares at the same ratio as Wiese and the PIC will receive.
The share price of the target company, Shoprite, jumped 3.2% to R199 while Steinhoff’s fell 5.5% to R71.83 after the announcement.
" It is expected that the proposed transaction will further enhance Retail Africa’s position as an employer of choice and it is also anticipated that the proposed transaction will not result in any job losses. The combined group’s growth plans could lead to future job creation in various countries," the statement read.
I suppose PEP is weighing on SNH. As we all know retailers were decimated.
I understand that principle but then why is Santova struggle like that today? They have a pretty serious offshore stamp. And what I mostly struggle to understand is why the ALSI did not take a nosedive today. It has been trading pretty flat all day and was even up for a while.
yip, saw that - SNH and SOL moving up nicely today after that showerhead did his corrupt thing
I know right? I will never understand the markets. If there ever was a reason to believe that the SA economy is heading for rock bottom, now would be that time. Yet the market is not doing poorly at all. In fact I am well up for the day. MAKES NO SENSE!!!!
Looks like 'long' because he is taking physical delivery of the shares; with 'short' he would be delivering ?
yes, it seems like buyers are concerned about the investigation into SNH in Germany - people don't trust management any more, perhaps with good reasonAgreed, the investigation is holding the price back, plus DAX is down. However index tracker funds still need to include SNH which should lend good support.
what link are you using Moonraker?
Price should go to R90/R100 in 2 months or so.
