a bit in the AFR

A more than 50 per cent decline in Johns Lyng Group’s share price this year has one local private equity group amped up about a potential turnaround.

The property services business, which is capitalised at $719 million, has received a takeover approach from Pacific Equity Partners. PEP started sniffing around the business last year and has in recent weeks secured exclusivity. The Sydney buyout firm is well-entrenched in due diligence, but there is no certainty an agreed deal will eventuate.

Thank you Dona....I bought the stock in the low 2s, so hopefully something eventuates out of this.:)
 
Surely PEP wouldn't be stupid enough to buy JLG??!! I mean the most basic due diligence will expose whats under the hood.
