Investor ponders £213m bid for revived CAB Payments

An investor in CAB Payments is considering making an improved £213 million bid for the FinTech.

Helios Consortium saw a $1.05-per-share offer for CAB Payments rebuffed last month and said it is seeking recommendation for an improved $1.15-per-share bid.

That would represent a 21% premium to the volume weighted average share price for the 30-day trading period ended 30th January 2026; and a 37% premium to the 90-day average.

The FinTech floated in 2023 with market cap of £851m but has endured torrid time as a listed company. Its share price plummeted more than 70% in the first three months of public trading.

However after reporting that it expects to deliver a stronger-than-expected performance for FY25, its share price has begun to rebound at the start of 2026.
