Oxford Blue
I don't think anyone suggested that OATS is in financial difficulty, just that it was for sale. F & R seems to doubt that, and such rumours have been around for nearly two years now so I agree something more than insistence would be required to believe them.
I would have to say that sale of schools could be good for the industry, and may well be good for the students. I would certainly not be automatically concerned. Seems an unwise time to sell though. Potentially good buy for the right investor, if the industry behaves as usual with a steady rise after recent difficulties.
