Probably CPQ wants the stock price to be within the range of $30 to $35. Thinking about the recent merger of DEC, I remember (correct me if I am wrong) CPQ will and a one share to one share swap for DEC share holders plus $30 cash per share. So, if The stock price of CPQ went up to , say, $45 right afer the merger announcement, which means CPQ will pay DEC investor $75 per share, i.e $30 cash + one share of CPQ for each share of DEC, does any one know if this will have any impact on CPQ's next quarter earning, and quarter after next? If CPQ stay below $35 ( a magic number), then CPQ will pay max of $65 per share !!!!!!!!!!
