Shares in Spain’s Telepizza hit a 15-month high yesterday [Thursday], following speculation that the fastfood company could be a takeover target.
“There have been market rumours about a takeover of the company, which has been pushing the shares up recently,” one dealer was quoted by Reuters as saying.
Other traders said analysts were expecting good first-half results from the company next week.
Spanish businessman Javier Tallada, chairman of Puleva Biotech, said on 28 July that he had purchased a 5.2% stake in the fastfood firm. Since then the shares have risen 18%, reported Reuters.
