Selfridges soars on more talk of takeover
Article Abstract:
Selfridges PLC's stock sale to British Land Co. prompted an 8.3% increase in its share prices. Selfridges declared in a statement to the London Stock Exchange that British Land owns a total of 4.80 million shares in the firm, which represents 3.1% of the share capital. After being asked whether his company plans to purchase more Selfridges shares, British Land Chairman Mr. Ritblat, who called the stake a trade investment, stated that it would depend on the price. Industry analysts believe that it is improbable that British Land will launch a full bid.
