The Story Behind the Move
Catalyst
Schneider Electric agreed to acquire the company for 205 dollars a share in cash
Why It Mattered
The cause is a filing rather than an interpretation, and technology as a sector was flat at minus 0.02 percent for the week, so none of the move was a sector tailwind.
Risk Note
The upside is now capped at 5.82 percent to the offer while the downside on a broken deal is roughly 26 percent back to the pre announcement close. A reader risks about four and a half points for every point of gain, on an outcome decided by regulators and a shareholder vote.
Reader Takeaway
A 33 percent gap is usually the market pricing an offer in full, not an opportunity you missed. When a cash price is announced, check what is left to that price before doing anything else.
