Q: I hate it when companies do “bought deals” at prices lower that market price. I understand why they do it but it feels like a blindside. Companies do not care for the shareholders.
The little guy always feels the pain and then the stock is dead money for several months until the deal is closed or longer.
5I is just guessing they will buy another company, no one knows for sure.
My questions are:
1. Why would SIS-t have to “clean up the balance sheet” prior to buying another company? It’s such a small deal. Is there something wrong with the balance sheet?
They did not do this for previous purchases. (H.E.S. Elevator or was it Visilift) or did they, I may have missed it? Is there another reason for this deal? Isn’t the issue for more funds normally done at the same time or after a purchase instead of before?
2. SIS-t will be “dead money now”. Do you not believe that when a stock becomes “dead money” it would it not be better to place capital elsewhere until the stock moves up?
3. For bought deals, the little guy can’t participate in these types of issues if managing a self-directed account. How unfair is this?
4. I don’t usually look at financial reports for companies but this looks suspect.
The Annual Balance Sheet for Dec 31, 2017 shows:
“ Intangibles” = $100.49C$Mil. versus less than 12.05 mil in previous years
Why is it much higher than the preceding 3 years? Can you explain what this is? And should we be worried?
