RE:RE:RE:RE:Greenhill & CoYou're kidding right? An acquisition price based on EPS? You're obviously stirring up shittt as you are obviously a lot brighter than to think any acquisition is based on EPS. Especially EPS with a bunch of one-time costs in it. You're really grasping at straws now to bash a potential deal.

I actually do hope they find someone, who is dumber that CXR was when they bought Cinven's roll-up.

That's because they took debt to acquire a company. Don't you remember ? The company that will allow them to repay their debt and increase their actual EPS ? Also, don't spin it like it's a crime. It's a common practice to release adjusted EPS, you just have to look past it and research the data.
