Agilent looks like a pretty good buy at these levels... for a mere $7.6 billion, you get: bookings down 50% from peak levels a net cash position that has dwindled to about $400mm $800-900mm a year of annual cash outflows (operations and capex) at current business levels tangible book equity of about $4 billion a $650mm pension shortfall and a $250mm post-retirement benefit obligation a bargain at twice the price! i gotta find me something to cover so i can free up some capital to buy A!
