Shares of HSO are up over 20% in early trade as the company received an unsolicited takeover offer from a group led by BGH Capital.
This is the second takeover bid proposed by BGH, whose first acquisition attempt was rejected by HSO’s board in May.
The details of the new offer are not clear, but it’s suggested to be in the $2.35 per share area.
Interestingly, the GBH consortium includes AustralianSuper, one of HSO’s largest shareholders.
Our ALGO engine triggered a buy signal for HSO at $2.10 on August 16th and we have suggested scaling in to long positions at lower levels.Healthscope.
