Quite conspicuous about the timing of the news article… on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Why would they?. May be the media knows something we don’t…

That may happen after Aussy opening ....NZX will let u buy in 6.90 -7.10 range ....

Head of private wealth research at Craigs Investment Partners, Mark Lister said it was just one newspaper reporting “what looks like an off-the-cuff comment” but it was a realistic possibility.
A2 Milk’s share price is very low, but it holds a considerable amount of cash on its balance sheet and retains a strong brand.
“The market, to a degree, believes where there is smoke there is fire. There were also probably a lot of people shorting the stock who don't want to get burned if there is truth to it,” he told BusinessDesk.
Investors who have shorted a stock eventually have to buy the stock to complete the trade, which sometimes leaves them scrambling to buy if a share price starts to climb.
Other investors may be buying back into the stock to “keep a toe in the water” having sold positions earlier in the stock’s decline. A total of 1.7m shares worth $12m were traded.
“It could all fizzle out and there could be nothing to it – but if I was a holder I’d be sitting tight and biding my time to see if there was some truth to it,” Lister said.
Views of Lister are much more fairer then that of Jarden's analyst's

From Business Desk daily email:
A2 shares spike as Aussie media reheats Nestle rumours
A report in the Australian media ramping up speculation about a takeover of the A2 Milk company by Swiss-based global food giant Nestle saw the dual-listed dairy company’s share price jump in NZX trading today.
However, local analysts are sceptical about the suggestion, which appears to rest primarily on the fact that the A2 share price has collapsed over the last year.

That would be more in line with corporate mentality if a buy out was actually going to be actioned.
The pitfalls and difficulties facing ATM/ China have not instantly been resolved or gone away. So the attractiveness of ATM would be in debate to Nestle. Especially when they are struggling in this area themselves. So to invest in ATM and be deeper into an uncertain market would be a pretty risky decision at this time.
Anyone having anything more solid than The Australian sourced rumour. Seems many investors are jumping on that band wagon all of a sudden. FOMO maybe? or Insiders? But maybe yesterdays rally will take a heavy reversal once the initial shorts stop bailing out from fear of this rumour.

Also from memory wasn't it Jarden or Craigs Analysts who were very recently stating fair value for SP to be $6.10 NZD

Just had a look, and Craigs have a target price of $7.78.

I guess there must be something in this rumour that has come out. Either that, or lots of shorts covering in panic mode
