The board of CAB Payments unanimously recommends not accepting the Helios consortium's offer, calling it opportunistic and fundamentally undervalued. Among the criticisms were a premium of only around 18% (based on the closing price on January 30), a payout in US dollars with currency risk, and partial compensation in illiquid, non‑voting shares subject to a three‑year lock‑up. Separately, CAB published fiscal 2025 figures: total revenue +12%, adjusted EBITDA £35 million (+14%), and adjusted earnings per share +9%; the company also opened new offices in New York and Abu Dhabi and appointed a new USD clearing partner. Management forecasts a mid‑term revenue CAGR in the high teens to low twenties (excluding net interest income) and plans to announce a distribution policy in 2026. » Más en de.investing.com
