Feels the deal will get completed. The biggest issue right now is the bondholders trying to go to court.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 17/07. Down 7.7 %.) When he bought it, he didn't know about the takeover. Chart now looks terrible, so wouldn't touch it.
COMMENT
As a market technician, he can't help very much on this one as it is trading on its fundamentals. Will the takeover go or not. There are all kinds of interesting fundamental things.
COMMENT
A lot of money out there not willing to take $6 of easy money because of fear the deal will not close. 1) Everyone close to it thinks it will close. 2) A lot of smart money on the street thinks it will close. 3) A lot of debt is going to need to be placed out of this deal. The big risk is if there is no deal, it will drop back into the $20's.
BUY
The head of the Teachers Ontario Pension says the deal is going to go through. Some of the financiers giving their loans are causing the concerns. The market is telling you that it does have risks. If this is part of several of your holdings the odds are pretty good and could be worth the risk.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) He has a model price of $25.11, a -28% differential.
TOP PICK
Latest earnings report suggests that the deal is going to go through. Gives about a 20% annualized return to the $42.75 target. There is also a dividend in the near term.
COMMENT
Debt holders are saying the deal is on as they are hoping the post merger balance sheet will be very leveraged and the credit quality will drop significantly. Equity guys are saying the deal is off because of someone pulling out of the agreement. There is a judicial decision coming for the bondholders. Thinks the break-up value is around $28 so the risk/reward is in favor of the deal going through.
COMMENT
The market is acting like the deal will not go through. Historically, the market is usually smarter about these things. If the deal does go through, it's a very compelling short term opportunity.
COMMENT
There is a lawsuit pending by the bondholders. Smart money says that lawsuit is not a winner, but you never know. There is also a question of whether they can raise the finances. He is still buying for clients. Under the worst circumstances, the stock is worth $20-$30 anyway.
DON'T BUY
Has been the subject of a takeover offer By the Ontario Teachers Pension. The market is clearly saying that the deal is not going to go through. As a publicly held company, fair market is probably in the low $30's.
DON'T BUY
With the uncertainty, time delays and the investor fears and any headlines will send the stock down sharply. If the deal fell apart, you could have a $10 drop.
HOLD
Thinks Ontario Teachers would not break the deal, as it would negatively affect future deals. Because of scarcity to back the deal, the market is showing it as a high-risk investment. If you are confident, it is a great short-term rate of return. It's the deal breaks, she thinks the stock will return to $28.
COMMENT
Stock price is acting like the deal will not happen. The company and the buyers are saying it will happen. If the deal does happen, it is a huge return. If it doesn't go through, it will probably end up in the upper $20's. Bondholders are taking them to court.
BUY
There is a very high probability that this deal does get done. There seems to be a will on both sides to get it done. Arbitrators are underwater on this and it is causing them problems.
