NG downside?I have not heard anybody consider the possibility than Barrick will not increase its bid *and* that nobody else makes a tender offer for NG either. In that case the stock could drop to near where it was prior to when it got the Barrick offer.
I am afraid nobody else will want to wade into this mess because it will be unclear whether that suitor will ultimately be getting 70% of Donlin Creek or just 30%. The value of NG with 70% is much different than the value of NG with just 30%. Would anybody like to make a guess as to the odds a suitor will make a superior offer under these circumstances?
