Acquisition Alchemy: Creating Value from Deals
By now, it should be no secret that I am not a fan of acquisition-driven growth. I have argued in my previous posts that acquirers often pay too much , that many acquisitions are driven by CEO egos and overconfidence , that M&A bankers are too conflicted to give unbiased advise, that accretive deals...
Priceline Pays $40/share for Kayak, a 29% Premium over Thursday's Close
Thoughts? This price represents ~32x TTM EBITDA ....overpaid or good to buy them now before Kayak eats thier lunch? ...not surprisingly, Orbitz up 12% after hours. What is a bit crazy here is the premium paid. I think this is actually a very smart move by Priceline since Kayak was showing a lot of...

Question regarding acquisition of public company
Hey guys, I have a quick question regarding the acquisition of a public company.

Coty withdraws $10.7bn offer from Avon – Yay or Nay?
A few months ago Coty and Avon were all over M&A news. Now Coty have withdrawn their offer because of Avon’s lack of engagement in discussions. Do you think this was the right thing to do? It was a timeline of 2 months. This seems a bit unreasonable given it’s a $10.7bn deal and that many other...

Dodgers Yield 7.3x Revenue Multiple!
Is this not the highest multiple that you have ever heard of? I haven't gotten to look at the financials, but 7.3x revenue is out of this world.

Local rich guy "looking to buy a couple companies," how could I offer to assist him

Since then he's played with real estate on the side...
