Intertek shares are climbing after private equity firm EQT returned with a higher, revised takeover proposal, signaling strong outside interest in the company. Analysts say the bid sends mixed signals about Intertek’s standalone prospects and the likelihood of a successful deal.
The new unsolicited offer values Intertek at £58 per share, above earlier approaches and potentially resetting investor expectations for the stock. The board is reviewing the conditional proposal, urging shareholders not to act yet, with a formal decision required under U.K. takeover rules by 14 May 2026.
