2249 GMT - Any further bids for Insignia Financial are unlikely to represent much of an advance on the A$5.00/share proposed by its current private-equity suitors, Barrenjoey analysts write in a note. Analysts Andrew Adams and Niva Chandrasekaran tell clients that there is scope for higher bids but any increase is likely to come at a much smaller increment than those seen in the process so far. They highlight the Australian wealth manager's acknowledgement that it plans to recommend an acquisition at A$5.00/share, in the absence of any superior proposal. Barrenjoey lowers its recommendation to neutral from overweight and keeps a A$4.95 target price, which includes a 10% takeover premium. Shares are at A$4.68 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
