RE:RE:TOU to Buy Crew Energy for $947 Million in All-Stock DealIt was a pretty cool move by TOU getting Crew at the top of their trading share price value with no additional premium. That being said Crew got all of their debt covered and shareholders just got a nice little dividend which is more than they were getting before. Judging from the rise of both TOU's and CREW's share prices the market likes this deal as they should.
It would have been a nice pick-up for ARX but at that valuation and all shares it would have nearly doubled ARX's share count again and added debt. The timing might not have been the best with attachie not quite up and running yet. Again with that being said I wonder If KEL would entertain the same kind of all stock deal to the high side of their trading level? At a 52 week high of $8.16 that would be about 3 KEL for every 1 ARX share and would again double ARX's share count. Less debt though and KEL shareholders would get a better dividend.
IF it was ARX would I take a deal at the top of the trading level? Nope. But ARX is trading near the top of their 52 week highs and quite frankly KEL is down only 30% off of theirs. The reason Crew could be taken out at their 52 week high is because they were trading down 70% from it. ARX is only off 5% 52 week highs and paying a decent div. So if they are coming for ARX I hope they bring their war chests because a 52 week high takeout offer just isn't going to cut it. Now if you want to talk ATHs of say $32-$33...you're still low ...LOL.
EASY HOLD!
