I expect an offer is made nowThe Financial Post reports that there has been lots of takeover action in the Canadian small/mid cap space over the past two weeks. The Post's Peter Hodson writes that we have seen the privatization offer for AGT Food Ingredients, a Brookfield takeover of Enercare, and the near-daily overtures toward Aimia. That got Mr. Hodson thinking about what other takeover candidates are out there. He looked for companies that might be in an acquirer's sights one day, either for valuation or strategic reasons. One potential candidate is The Stars Group. Mr. Hodson says Stars had fortunate timing this year, making a huge acquisition in the sports betting sector just as the United States declared sports betting legal again (more or less). This fortuitous timing has seen the stock rise 46 per cent this year, but that only brings it to 14 times forward earnings. Meanwhile, earnings per share are expected to double this year. The company has been shopped before, but the grey legal area of Internet gambling likely reduced the size of the buyers' pool. Now, it is a world leader in an industry that is opening up around the globe. Mr. Hodson believes the stock either goes up more or it gets bought
