This was a bit unexpected but Sampo has been dropping now that news about it’s discussion to acquire british Hastings Group hit the news. Apparently these discussions have proceeded quite far but since the possible valuation has not been revealed, it’s really difficult to have any opinion about it. What we do know is the fact that Sampo’s market cap has likely dropped way more that the anticipated price for Hastings Group stake. Apparently Mr. Market doesn’t like this move even though it does make sense in many ways but might put pressure on the dividends and might also raise some concerns about the future of the Nordea stake they are holding. There are plenty of open questions but I bought additional 60 shares for 30,40 EUR per share.
