NMC Health shares soar as investors bid for stake: but is it a serious offer?
Unnamed groups, one linked to Chinese conglomerate Fosun, have reportedly bid nearly $2bn for a 40% stake in London-listed global healthcare group NMC Health, according to a Reuters story, sending the share price soaring on the same day as its H1 2019 results.
