Entra (Buy, TP: NOK220.00) - Here we go again
Balder announced today it has acquired additional shares in Entra, surpassing the one-third offer limit in Norway. Balder has stated it intends to make a mandatory offer and, according to Norwegian law, must pay NOK202.5/share, which is the highest price it has paid for any Entra shares over the past six months. We doubt Castellum will accept this offer, since it has bought Entra shares at a higher price. Given the prospect of a competitive bid, we have upgraded to BUY (HOLD) and raised our target price to NOK220 (185).Entra ASA (Entra) is a Norway-based real estate company.
