Company Interview / Howard's view on the JLG bid

Howard Coleman from Teaminvest comments on the recent surge in John's Lyng Group (ASX:JLG) shares following a takeover approach by Pacific Equity Partners. He notes the absence of a bid price in the announcement, which might pose challenges later. Typically, takeover premiums are around 30%.

Howard describes JLG (ASX:JLG) as a company that fixes damaged homes and buildings, with significant exposure in the US. He recalls personal experience with their services and mentions Team Invest members' cautious investment approach—buying shares when prices dropped due to market volatility.

Pacific Equity Partners' acquisition offer is warmly received by Teaminvest members, as some expect the potential for a higher bid. Howard observes the trend of 'dumb money' in index funds affecting prices and expresses concerns over beautifully written yet content-deficient newsletters, attributing them to AI.
