@Rink - Saifun I have said this already after the Q4 call - I was surprised, that SPSN itself didn't talked about SFUN and that no analyst asked a question about that deal. Just to make no overexcitement, the deal is on the first look no big one, at least financially. It seems, that this is the reason, why the questions aren't here. Lets say SPSN gets some 30-40Mio. cash inflow after the deal is finally (legally) done and that some more SPSN shares will exist. Should be around 159-160Mio. (in sum) after the deal is done -> total marketcap. with the existing price incl. SFUN:
160 x 3$ = 480Mio. USD
Just look a few months back, where SFUN alone traded at 10$ or even more - old range 10-13$ => which resulted in a marketcap. for SFUN alone at 310-410Mio. So, if we take this into account, SPSN is virtually valued NOW!!! with 70-170Mio. Thats the reality.
I don't know what the market expects here, but from the market pricing for SPSN, an independent analyst could only say, that the market sees Chapter11. Otherwise such a price couldn't be justified.
I spoke sometimes about peer valuation. One poster here said, that I can't compare QI as one example with SPSN. I'm saying why not? Its clear, that QI is a DRAM guy and SPSN is produ- cing NOR, but they are both TECHs, both Semis and both are in the big memory segment. When such "other" argument would be validated, we couldn't compare any two stocks with each other. And I can say, that some people should always look into the peer group, which includes for me ALL memory guys at least. QI is the best example, how the market values a struggling company. I have said a few times, that QI looks now much much more ugly than SPSN and valuation metrics even show 2x higher numbers for QI compared to SPSN. I don't know why the market is only willing to pay so much less for SPSN, but for me, it makes with existing (official infos) knowledge no sense. At least noone could explain WITH FACTS! to me, why SPSN should be valued so low. And I could go on up to other companies which are TECHs/Semis but no memory guys. When I'm doing this, the misvaluation gets even bigger. Thats reality, these are plain and simple facts.
