National Bank say's good chance of a better Bid !!! $$$$Another bidder could emerge for Sandvine, says National Bank Financial May 29, 2017 By Nick Waddell Leave a Comment Share this: 0 The reasonable offer on the table for Sandvine (TSX:SVC) might not be the final one, says National Bank Financial analyst Richard Tse. On Friday, Sandvine announced it had entered into an agreement that will see it be acquired by U.S. private equity firm Vector Capital for $3.80 a share, or about $483-million. The Sandvine team has built the clear leader in network policy control, and I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished to date, said CEO Dave Caputo. There are a number of long-term growth opportunities that Vector, as a specialist technology investor, is enthusiastic about and can help us pursue more aggressively. We see this as an excellent opportunity to better serve our 300-plus customers, to enhance our strategic position over the longer term and to do it the Sandvine way. In a research update to clients today, Tse raised his rating on Sandvine from Sector Perform to Outperform and raised his one-year pric target on the stock from $3.25 to $4.50, implying a return of 45 per cent at the time of publication. The analyst thinks there is an even chance a better bid could emerge.
