Wood Group (WG.) has announced third quarter of the year growth across all of its business units and that it expects “modest positive free cash flow in the second half… order book position supports our expectations for 2024”. What of this from a current 154.7p offer price?

Wood Group (WG.) was a tip last year at a 155p offer price – with we then noting we looked to repeat previous success of a more than 40%, less than 7 months, offer-to-bid gain. In April this year we banked more than 45%, little more than 9 months, gains at 226p. Following recent half-year results which emphasised “clear strategic progress, strong growth and increasing full year guidance”, though with the shares at a 156.7p offer price we consider this again a good time to Buy.

You know what to do HERE. After discussing that subject linked to sock wearing techniques on long walks, I look at Wood Group (WG), Scotgold (SGZ), Eurasia Mining (EUA), Pembridge (PERE) and at the wise words from that clever fellow Evil Banksta which convince me after yesterday’s bearcast HERE that Tullow (TLW) is in fact a stonking short. Sorry Malcolm.

Previously writing on 155p offer price July last year tip Wood Group (WG.), earlier this month with the shares at 200p we noted that, although the share price suggested that the market did not believe takeover proposals would succeed, it looked to us like the major shareholders were open to a deal and that anyway there looked medium term upside so continue to hold. Now there’s been a further announcement on the possible takeover from the group – and the shares are up to above 226p.

Young Steve is not well so it really is just me holding the fort on a day when childcare and the Young Mum’s Group curtail my own hours. Notwithstanding that I bring you thoughts on the late Victoria Oil & Gas (VOG), Revolution Beauty (REVB) and Boohoo.com (BOO), Genflow Biosciences (GENF), Wood Group (WG.) and Pantheon Resources (PANR)

Re-recommended at a 155p offer price in July after we previously banked a more than 40%, less than 7 months, offer-to-bid gain on the shares, Wood Group (WG.) has noted “recent speculation” and confirmed that it has received three possible cash offer proposals from Apollo Global Management, the most recent of which was at 230p per share and unanimously rejected by the board as it considers it “significantly undervalued the repositioned group’s prospects”.

Last year we banked a more than 40%, less than 7 months, offer-to-bid gain on Wood Group (WG.) at 300.3p. That proved good timing with the shares eventually falling back towards 150p before then recovering to above 250p again. However, they are now available at a 155p offer price and are again a Buy.

Wood Group (WG.) announced half-year results including “operating profit of $65.6m (June 2019: $138.8m)…considers it prudent not to pay a 2020 interim dividend” but the shares look to be at a depressed valuation and the announcement also included “recent signs of stabilisation… expect good cash generation and a further reduction in net debt in the second half. Well placed for medium term growth as markets recover and the energy transition gathers pace”…
