Fair as in reprents fair value? Or fair as in fair to the current shareholders of the business by providing a sufficient premium over the fair value of the business?"
@Klutch,
Valid question.
While we will all have differing views on what constitutes appropriate valuation parameters, based on the acquisition multiples that I cited in my earlier post, viz. ~25x P/E, 15x EV/EBITDA and <4% Free Cash Flow yield, I certainly would not purchase TME shares at those sorts of multiples.
Also, this stock has - to the best of my knowledge - not traded at those sorts of multiples for any sustained period of time
So, that tells me that the takeover offer price does reflect a meaningful implied premium for a change of control.
Is it a full premium? Probably not.
But is the premium being offered sufficient? I think so. Like so many of these things, there are plenty of grey areas.
Especially in the context of contemporary equity valuations, which - as you allude in your post - have been pared back in recent months.
