RECs fail to produce a spark

Article Abstract:

The third qtr of 1995 saw the biggest quarterly number of successful public share offers in the UK since 1992, but average premiums were disappointing. The 16 deals in the third qtr produced average returns of only 22% and 34% over the target share price one day and one month respectively before the annoucement of the bid talks or offer. The steady growth in the market in 1995 was helped by the regional electricity companies.
