SHAREWATCH: SCi stock cools down

SCi’s share price has plunged by over seven per cent at the last count today – suggesting that the furious speculation over buyout talks may have calmed down.

The stock price reached a high of 60.5p-per-share on Friday, but that dipped slightly yesterday.

However, it is today’s unforeseen drop that indicates any potential talks may have died down.

National newspapers have fingered Infogrames, Warner Bros and Ubisoft as potential suitors for the firm.
