Hi karlmarx,
Delfi had been working on refreshing the Van Houten brand after acquiring it. According to them, the previous owner had neglected it for quite sometime. It is still work in progress though, but the initial signs are good as you can see from the latest numbers.
As for takeover, I don't think one should be betting on that. If it comes, it will be a bonus. Otherwise, one should be happy with the dividends while waiting for them to execute their plans and hopefully deliver good outcomes for shareholders.
