RE:RE:Spectral move It's not a terrible strategy, but that would be a much longer term play.
However, the split of Baxter into two should add immediate value to their shareholders if they do it right ... and as long as they time it right. I picked up some Baxter stock in the low thirties and low forties in the hopes they don't screw it up. Plus it's on sale.
In any event, I don't think the plan is to allow Baxter to steal PMX/EAA for a song.
