    Thanks for sharing.....

    I like that the second para mentions me....
    "Until May 15 of this year, there had been a lack of new scientific evidence about A1 milk ... However, new evidence has now come forward from India, somewhat out of left field."

    Seriously tho' the link between A1 milk and asthma is compelling.... and possibly an underlying reason for the high incidence of asthma in NZ???

    Got to be good for A2 Milk.

    Fonterra could have purchased A2M for peanuts back in the day now they have to partner with them funny how things turnout.

    by keithwoodford | 3rd Jun 20, 9:10pm

    Becnz,
    I do recall a discussion with a Fonterra director who once said to me, with an element of condecension, that Fonterra could buy out A2 Milk for $50 million if it wished to do so at any time. That was in about 2009 or 2010. The market value now is close to 300 times that figure. And a buyout would need to be pitched at around $20 billion or maybe more. Fonterra could still make a lot of money from A2 products but only if they developed their own international brands. Instead they have chosen to be an ingredient supplier to 'The a2 Millk Company'. That arrangement was a great deal for The a2 Millk Company as it took their key potential competitor out of the market. Given Fonterra 's current mindset, having been bruised so badly in recent years, they could as an alternative have also made significant money if they were to sell A2 products themselves on the ingredient market to allcomers. But it seemeed simpler to tie themselves to The a2 Milk Company.

    That figure quoted by Keith of $20bln or may be more to buy out ATM is about $30 per share...nuff said!!!

    Nice little piece of news. Not surprising, but it's always good to have it pointed out to people!

    If buying stock, can anyone make recommendation whether it would be preferable to buy on the NZX or ASX? And for what reasons? Cheers

    Dont take it from me but;
    1) Trading go on the ASX (more volume)
    2) Interested in impacts of currency pick according to that.
    3) Investing for the long term wont matter which.

    I may be wrong in my summation

    Provided you factor in currency conversion rates and bigger brokerage trading on ASX from NZX.

    Liquidity wise sometimes ASX better to trade on when dealing with dual listed stocks, but liquidity on NZX for big companies like ATM hasn't been an issue thus far. Overall though, trading over 6 figures worth, ASX in most cases better for liquidity purposes

    Thank you both for your input - I'm mainly curious regarding any potential currency gain/loss on the ASX, considering that's not really an area I know too much about
