great! here is the post

LU is willing to shell out 20B$ for ASND that has about 1.5B$ revenue. That is like 13 times the revenue and it is extremely expensive. CSCO paid only 8 times revenue for STRM. FORE is at 600m$ revenue. FORE is a big bargain now if it's based on takeover premium:

approximate prices
4 times revenue => 23$
6 times revenue => 32$
8 times revenue => 46$
10 times revenue => 54$
13 times revenue => 70$

Microsoft is deploying FORE state of the art ASX4000 swicthes in its large and very high-performance campus network. More companies will follow including Internet Service Providers. ASX4000 has a long life in front and it is the only switch that supports OC48c.
imo, FORE will be taken over this year for a price between 30$ and 50$.
