After finding support just above $3, Arrow has jumped about 30% in the space of a few weeks! Now approaching all time highs! Can hopefully get through the $4 mark soon!
And it has reached the $4 mark. With new highs as well! A few months ago i predicted that in December AOE will reach $4.50 maybe might be a little bit earlier than expected!
Up today on high volume. Any ideas why other than the inevitable speculations about a Shell takeover?
NEW highs..Possilby, dont know though..im on commsec and theres what currently now over 200 somethin buyers and what under 80 sellers..maybe some news ought to come out soon? Has there been any news recently?
AOE's SP is up 4% today.
Seems to be moving on the back of LNG which is up 8%! Perhaps some news is expected there?
The Australian Financial Review published that there is speculation that Shell and PetroChina may do a joint bid for AOE. Might have pushed some speculators on board.
A few brokers initiating covering of AOE with buys, but announced today no takeover bid lol. What a downramp!
Has anybody heard from any other news that is not indirectly from the daily telegraph.
Xchange hears Arrow did receive a proposal from the most logical bidder, its joint venture partner, Royal Dutch Shell, earlier this year. But it was deemed a low-ball offer, so Arrow's corporate advisers at Citi sought to drum up interest from other players.
But in the end, it seems, other potential buyers like BG, Petronas, ConocoPhillips, Origin Energy and Santos were not all that interested in Arrow, and Shell was not willing to pay up. Arrow said yesterday it had not attracted interest from Chinese groups, although it did not seem to rule out the sale of a stake in its international business to Asian parties.
Arrow has plenty of acreage, but industry sources said most of it was not as productive as the prime ground held by its rivals, which makes it more costly to extract gas. And apart from Shell, the other players appear to have enough gas to meet most of their needs.
It is interesting but the only source I can really locate as to the facts of the take over bid looming is the Daily telegraph. It seems all the stories and rumors around are citing that source.
Arrow itself has been very vague in its statements. As it was in relation to the pure take over bid.
Has anybody heard from any other news that is not indirectly from the daily telegraph.
I have been a long term holder of Arrow and will continue to hold arrow on a long term outlook.
Would be interesting if it can flush out some other bidders.
Fat Prophets put a SELL on this today. However they put a buy on it at $4.55 about 3 weeks ago - i dont think they know what they are doing!
I have seen a couple of broker targets around $6 for Arrow.
