Alpha Auto Group/​Lookers: From Done Deal to Uncertain Situation

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • Lookers disclosed that Cinch (largest shareholder with 19.52% stake) plans to vote against the scheme. The shares have dropped to halfway between the pre-offer price and Alpha Auto’s offer.
  • The shares are pricing a 45% probability of deal completion. This sector has a track record of failed deals, so it is understandable that investors are spooked.
  • Top Lookers shareholders are keen on selling and an offer from Lithia could well happen. At around 103p I’d be long, as I consider the risk reward is balanced.
