Catcha Group, the largest shareholder, has effectively becoming a ‘joint bidder’, after entering into an agreement to sell an initial 19.9% stake for Carsome stock, explains the analyst. The target moves to $0.50 from $0.38, factoring-in a 75% chance of the bid becoming final.

Morgans maintains a Hold rating.
