perdikaoilgas wrote: Don't be surprised if PTA's stock exceeds the acquisition offer of C$1.33 next week. It has happened already with other firms several times. Last time it happened was with ANGI last week, see below. We might hear some news about PTA from a privately-held North American energy firm/fund next week.

Angie's List now 12% above IAC's offer price; HomeAdvisor partners with Google

Nov 13 2015, 14:31 ET | About:Angie's List, Inc. (ANGI) | By:Eric Jhonsa, SA News Editor

Following today's rally, Angie's List (ANGI+8.8%) is well above the $8.75/share buyout offer price InterActiveCorp (IACI+0.2%) disclosed on Wednesday afternoon, as markets bet IAC's offer will simply prove an opening bid.

IAC, whose equity value is tied in large part to soon-to-be-public Match Group, hasn't moved much since the offer was disclosed. Reactions to the bid have mostly been positive, with analysts trumpeting cost synergies between Angie's List and IAC's HomeAdvisor unit and the potential for lower marketing spend post-merger.

Cowen notes Angie's HomeAdvisor would have a combined network of 140K service professionals, and claimed 14.4M unique visitors in September (far above the 3.6M claimed by rival Thumbtack). It also thinks the sales productivity improvements recently achieved by HomeAdvisor can be transferred over to Angie's List.

Separately, HomeAdvisor has announced a deal with Google to allow consumers to book appointments with pre-screened HomeAdvisor professionals via Google Places business listings (used by Google Maps and Google+). HomeAdvisor states it's the "first and only" home services marketplace to be integrated with Places.
