Speculation that Stockland is mulling a takeover of up to $4 billion for rival Australand has been been heightened by a recent rally in the target's price, according to The Australian.
On Friday, Australand's share price closed 3c higher at $3.60 after adding more than 12% since June 24.
Sources said Stockland executives were weighing up a deal, with a cash and scrip bid the likely scenario, according to the newspaper. The bid would be worth more than $4 billion, given Australand's assets included $2.55 billion worth of investment property, a $900 million residential business and a $380 million commercial and industrial development arm.
"Parts of the Australand business appear to be a good strategic fit, although we would question whether Stockland would want parts of the office portfolio," JPMorgan analyst Richard Jones said, according to The Australian.
GPT Group made a $2.94bn bid for Australand's office and industrial property businesse in December but abandoned its pursuit in May.
