The buyout of Rite Aid's $RAD stores puts a final value of $2.50 a share.Per @giofls:In the offer, RAD shareholders get $1.83 cash plus one share "newco" for each 10 shares of RAD. They also have the option to take an extra 0.079 shares of newco instead of the $1.83. $1.83 / 0.079 = $23.16, so that is the implied value of one share of newco. So for each 10 shares of RAD, you get $1.83 plus $23.16 in newco sharevalue, for a total of $25.00 (give or take a penny), so each share of RAD is getting an implied value of $2.50.@Sean Livingstone thinks another offer will come:Read this. Before you make a decision to sell your RAD at a discount, and after reading this analysis, you have to read another balanced news. If you add in the potential stock price of Albertson's (likely $20 or more), you might be looking at $3.83 or higher. Some investors are not comfortable about not knowing what the IPO price would be. I agree with the statement that RAD is selling itself too cheaply as its PBM is worth $2 billion. On the other hand, RAD is in the middle of transferring its stores to WBA. I would expect AMZN to come in to buy RAD after the transfer and reading its accounting book. I'm surprised (and not really that surprised) that Albertson's is so desperate to defend against AMZN threat so they come in earlier with a lower price. The lower price allows RAD investors to reject so they can counter offer. Read this CNBC analysis. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/20/albertsons-to-acquire-rite-aid-in-defense-move-against-amazon.html This is what I'm expecting: Albertson has to come in before Amazon or other retailers. They have to come in at a lower price so that they have some gaps to up their offers. Thus, this is not the end of the road, but the beginning of a potential price war between companies who want to get into the pharmacy sector. I totally agree that RAD needs a lot of work to become profitable, but its PBM is so attractive that buyers would overlook everything RAD is. Remember, retail is a very competitive market but pharmacy is a lucrative one. Again, this is just a beginning of a potential price war.$RAD Stock: $RAD, Rite Aid Corporation / H1 $CVS: $CVS, CVS Health Corporation / H1 Walgreens $WBA, which bought RAD's best stores: $WBA, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. / H1
