RE:RE:RE:RE:Will the family do the right thing?Exactly, why only a $75 million break free too? The market smells a panic deal and has given zip premium despite an historic market comeback during this pandemic. If we get any kind of Fall selloff and further if Alstrom sqeezes BBD on the dea or Spirit cannot closel and this stock goes to 20cents. That's why the shorts are still hungry.

alstom market cap : Eur $ 10.985 bln
bbd market cap: Eur $0.637 bln for both BT and BA (so it's appr Eur $0.320 bln for just BT)
and both rail companies have similar revenues .
The family should give up control in BT and partner with somebody . China would pay huge premiums for just one BBd subsidiary to get a foothold in Europe . BBd has operations in 60 countries , they could get value by streamlining

Imo, the family could separate BT as a separate enterprise through partnerships. If the family gives up the control for BT then the interested parties (Hitachi, Siemens, China) could step in . Maybe BT could sell just individual subsidiaries in some countries to streamline their rail operations and focus on profitable zefiro platform for high speed trains and monorails.
BA would be untangled and become profitable. That would unlock the value for the shareholders.
the sp is controlled within 0.005 range by big players and I would not be surprised if Alstom is trying to squeeze BBd into acceptance of low ball offer
