The MEDI price is down because they are paying some premium, and the arbs always short the acquiring company and go long the acquisition immediately after the deal is announced.

A chunk of the current MEDI holders also are likely to be institutions that care about near-term earnings performance. It's not the right way to look at these stocks, but that's what makes a market.

Finally, the whole market is down some today, biotechs included.
