RE:RE:BMS US$14 Bln bid for Karuna countered by competitive bidAs Noteable commented....acquisition price doesn't factor in like one would think. MBS had to be looking at Karuna for quite awhile. In the fall, it was trading at $160 +/- now $300+. They probably could have acquired Karuna for many millions less 2 months ago. Once the risk is assessed as being acceptable...price doesn't matter that much and they might have been aware of another suitor which helped confirm their decision. Offer a premium to stock price and go get it
