Hi PaperTigger,

Actually if company A goes down in a merger of equals than company B should increase by the same amount. Total value is the same given the lack of synergies on offer.

If company A's shareholders think they have a bad deal then by definition company B got a good result

So it's not value based. More so a comment on management's judgement.
