Centaur’s share weakness making it a takeover target

By colinc

Shares in Centaur, down 35 per cent since September, fell another 1.5p to 87.5p yesterday despite the b2b publisher’s positive profit forecast in a trading update.

Centaur’s current share price weakness could make the company a potential takeover target, according to analysts at investment banking group, Altium.

“We do expect consolidation to continue and regard Centaur as an attractive stragetic asset within the business-to-business segment,” said analyst Roddy Davidson.
