This idea has been floated around quite a few times before. While it makes sense for BHP to do a t/o of WPL, there are some impediments for it to happen
1. Shell would want to sell.
2. Will the market, in the current climate, look kindly on the bid?
3. Has BHP got the stomach to do another t/o so soon after the RIO deal fell through?
Would the t/o be cash or script?
I think it would be script. BHP rhetoric is that it has low debt. It is applauding this in the media. It would not want to send out mixed messages.
If I had to weigh it up, I would say no. (But I have been wrong before)!!!
