Spyker Stock Soars As Deadline For SAAB Approaches

The partly Russian owned Spyker said on Sunday it had lodged a renewed fast-track offer to buy Saab from GM just two days after last-ditch talks with GM over a rescue of the loss-making Swedish manufacturer collapsed. The offer from Spyker Cars expires at 2200 GMT (5 p.m. EST) on Monday.

 

Shares in Spyker Cars rose as much as 34.5 percent and were up 26.9 percent at 2.17 euros by 1051 GMT (5:51 a.m. EST) in Amsterdam as its renewed approach to Saab raised hopes the small Dutch firm may exponentially expand operations and perhaps become profitable.

"The stock's value is close to nothing but if they succeed to buy Saab, invest, and turn the company around then the shares can become valuable," said a Dutch analyst who declined to be named.
