Don't try to out-think yourself. The bondholders are in for a long haul. If they want to convert, why at 130 or 140?
The key issue here is always the interest rate, since these stocks are traded as zero coupons. Yesterday the tamed CPI number has changed the inflation & interest rate outlook and therefore these inet stocks can be valued higher again.

BTW, bond yield has just dropped below 6%.
