CIRC is trading 5.6% up at $0.57 after volatile trading surrounding its proposed acquisition of SThree.

  • SThree unanimously rejected Circle8’s unsolicited all-cash proposal on September 11, saying it significantly undervalued the company.
  • Circle8’s bid process remains at an early stage.
  • The gain contrasts with weaker pre-market futures, suggesting takeover activity is outweighing broader risk-off sentiment.
