Primary Health Properties PLC (LSE:PHP) has reported the latest acceptance figures for its ongoing takeover bid for Assura Plc. As of July 18, 2025, the company has secured valid acceptances representing around 1.18% of Assura’s outstanding ordinary shares. PHP is encouraging remaining Assura shareholders to respond to the revised offer by the deadline of August 12, 2025.
This acquisition aligns with PHP’s strategic objective to broaden its footprint within the healthcare real estate sector, potentially strengthening its market position and creating enhanced growth opportunities for investors.
Financially, Primary Health Properties maintains a solid foundation with a strong equity base and no debt, supporting operational resilience. Technical indicators point to positive momentum, though the relatively high price-to-earnings ratio suggests caution on valuation. The company’s acquisition strategy, including the potential merger with Assura, is expected to bolster its portfolio quality and income streams. Recent earnings calls highlight growth prospects driven by rising rental income and effective asset management, despite some operational headwinds.
