The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.
Summary:
- Activist investor Carl Icahn bought a $1.19 billion stake in HP Inc. He also owns 10.6% stake in Xerox. Icahn is now orchestrating a Xerox takeover attempt of HPQ.
- It might be profitable to buy HPQ on a bet that Xerox will increase its $22 cash + stock initial bid for each HPQ share.
- Majority of HPQ stakeholders might agree to a deal if Xerox will increase its bid to $26.
- The other scenario is HP, Inc. will instead offer an all-stock bid to acquire Xerox. HP Inc. has tried before before to buy Xerox.
- Whatever happens, HP Inc. does not really need Xerox. It already owns the laser printer/copier business of Samsung.
