Takeover battle for Regis (ASX:REG) share price triggers sector-wide upgrade
The takeover bid didn’t only send the Regis Healthcare Ltd (ASX: REG) share price soaring. It triggered a re-rating among its peers with at least one leading broker upgrading the whole sector.
The Regis share price surged 21.4% to $1.79 in morning trade when the retirement accommodations operator rejected a $1.85 a share bid by Washington H. Soul Pattinson and Co. Ltd (ASX: SOL).
