    Swift Merger Wave: William Hill odds on recent bid

    Swift Merger Wave: William Hill odds on recent bid

    It looks as if the current superfluity on mergers has not swept off the British Bookmaker, William Hill. Rank Group and 888 Holdings are reported to have reached out to the UK bookmaking jumbo with merging offers. However, despite there not being an official response yet, it is likely that the offers will be rejected o grounds that they lack the value and quality William Hill believes in.

    Given the current status of the company, the pressure to concede and merge has been rising day in day out. The sports betting power company currently lacks a CEO and is facing market threats from new competitors. Even so, it appears to be maintaining acceptable business sense.

    The company made a general statement on the two offers from 888 holdings and Rank Group where it made it clear that merging with either of these did not appear ideal for the company’s strategic position. In addition, the offers bear no exceptional value for the company’s policy and game plan.

    It would be reasoned out that if William Hill signed off the bid, they would essentially from the biggest betting operator in Britain. Their hesitation is premised on the notion that ‘bigger is not always better’. There is what William Hill is looking for but it was morosely not found in the operators of Britain’s top casino and bingohalls.

    In the face of intensified competition, William Hill maintains its status and dominance. Following a publication to advance its market value to 3.1 billion pounds, the stock lopped 11%. The corporate worth of both 888 Holdings and Rank Group is only a fraction of that with 844 million pounds and 986 million pounds respectively.

    Even so, it is not all merry at William Hill given their recent track. Not so long ago they recorded a low on online performance that saw its two year old CEO packing. The likes of 88 and rank Group major on online performance, therefore to stay ahead, William Hill must up its game. The bookmaking giant has a lead now as it is and hopefully it maintains it by making critically decisive steps.
