Prologis 'clearly' can make a higher offer to secure Segro deal, analysts say

Segro PLC rejected a £12.6 billion takeover approach from Prologis, signaling a potentially material M&A situation for the UK logistics real estate group. The approach indicates strategic interest in Segro’s asset base, but the rejection introduces uncertainty over whether a higher bid or further negotiations will follow. The news is likely to affect Segro’s shares more than the broader market.
