    Shares of Rightmove, the UK’s leading property portal, soared by nearly 25% in early trading following news that Australian property giant, REA Group, is considering a £4.4 billion takeover bid. REA Group, backed by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, is weighing a cash and share offer for the entire issued share capital of Rightmove. While no formal discussions have taken place yet, the move could significantly reshape the global real estate landscape.

    In an announcement to the Australian stock exchange, REA Group revealed its interest in Rightmove. If the acquisition is successful, it could lead to the creation of a global real estate powerhouse, with dominant positions in both Australia and the UK. This deal, potentially the largest outbound transaction from Australia in 2024, would allow REA Group to extend its market reach across continents.

    Transformative Merger on the Horizon

    The merger, if it proceeds, would provide REA Group with a powerful foothold in the UK market. In a statement, REA expressed confidence in the similarities between both companies. According to REA, both firms share strong brand recognition, leading market positions, and innovation in adjacent segments, particularly in the residential property business.

    REA’s board sees the acquisition as a “transformational opportunity” to combine their expertise and enhance the value provided to both customers and consumers. The deal could lead to the creation of a globally diversified digital property company, further strengthening their positions in Australia and the UK.

    Financial Implications and Timeline

    REA Group has until the end of September to submit a formal offer. The acquisition is expected to be financed through a combination of cash, shares, and equity raising. Meanwhile, Rightmove has yet to comment on the potential deal.

    Jessica Pok, an analyst at Peel Hunt, noted that Rightmove’s subdued rating and the ongoing challenges in the UK property market make it a prime acquisition target. Rightmove’s core business in classified listings, along with new ventures into mortgages, commercial real estate, and rentals under its new CEO, presents a stable investment despite current market concerns.

    Potential for Future Growth

    Russ Mould, investment analyst at AJ Bell, commented on the potential for Rightmove to bounce back as the UK economy stabilises. He suggested that with the pro-housing policies of the new Labour government, Rightmove’s earnings could strengthen significantly over time. Mould also highlighted that REA’s interest in Rightmove aligns with its long-term view of capitalising on the traditionally vibrant UK property market.

    REA’s share price has risen 25% this year, with the company benefiting from high demand in Australia’s residential market. As interest rates stabilise and positive market fundamentals continue, REA Group looks well-positioned to expand its influence globally with this bold takeover bid.
