It's a stock swap at an exchange ratio of .77. If yhoo trades < 200, bcst also trades less than current price. Empirical studies show target firm has a higher abnormal return than acquiring firm during the merger announcement. W/o the news of merger, Yhoo inclination to rise before earnings is very typical. Of course, it's a good strategic decision to do several acquisitions. Why did they do it right before earnings, this is a very good question. My theory is earnings might not beat expectation. Sometimes the street's expectation is so high. In this case, 8 cents is not a high expectation (although it's higher than 2 cents). My opinion from mademoiselle point of view which must be different than sir. A note from my former professor: 60 to 80% of the M&A failed to meet expectation. Men ego is higher than women in business. (btw, there are only few female CEOs) Kacey,
