The past month has seen a significant increase in BLOM Bank's share price, much more so than what could be attributed to growth and earnings reports, and so rumors ensued about negotiations on BLOM's buyout...
Initially it was Arab Bank.
Followed by official rebuttals of said Buyout.
But the stock price kept on climbing, until today, when a 5 point jump to 87$ was preceded by talk (even a newspaper mention) of the sale of BLOM Bank to Sheikh Zayed for 167$ a share...
Official or not, there's something brewing in BLOM's high echelons.
