Phil and All,
I have been invested in ATCT (4000 shares avg. @ $5) for over a year. I lurk this site daily but speak up seldom, having little to add.
I'm trying to put a value on the combined new Co. and this is my thinking. All comments are welcome.
First I see the total shares of stock will be about 60,000,000.
It is stated that the combined income for 1997 was $250M.
Since this is a low margin industry lets assume that total sales in 1998 remains stable and profit is assumed to be 10% say $25M.
Earnings per share would the be $25M/60M = $0.42 approx.
That translates to a $6.25 share value using a 15 to 1 ratio.
At a 5% profit ratio share value would = a little over $3.
In my opinion this stock may run up to as high as $6 over the next few days if a trading frenzy continues as it did yesterday.
After that I see it settling back to the $3 range until the merger is complete and the first combined earnings quarter gives a more definitive outlook. Then its anyone's guess.

Good Luck All Long ATCT
