Just over a year ago, various media reports linked Allianz with a A$15 per share bid for QBE, valuing it at A$20 billion.
While that's less than half QBE's record high SP, after repeated underwhelming performances, there would be numerous holders who would consider such a bid now.
More recently, in Warren Buffett's annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders released on Saturday, Buffett said Berkshire has US$116 billion to spend on a deal, but can't find anything at "a sensible purchase price".
IAG seems to be working well for Berkshire. Buffett loves insurance.
At A$15ps for QBE, Berkshire would still have US$100 billion to spend on deals!
