Regal Funds Management’s Julian Barbarczy says a number of factors could result in higher-than-average mergers and acquisitions activity in Australia during 2015. He stresses that investors should decide to buy a stock after considering a range of factors rather than just its potential to become a takeover target. Recent strong share price gains have prompted speculation that suitors could soon be circling stocks such as Treasury Wine Estates, DUET Group, Syrah Resources, Challenger, Qube Holdings and Sirius Resources
