VTLE -4.50 to 54.85, agreed, they're diluting substantially, depending also on the convertible terms which I haven't read. Even assuming double the share count, and just 30% increased NI, that cuts EPS estimates for 2024 from $20.43 down to $13.28 for a forward PE of 4.1.
I'm not selling based on this superficial analysis. The stock remains cheap, but not as cheap.
Maybe they're adding a lot of reserves which has been a concern and partly the reason for the low valuation ?
I'm busy with other things, but will review this deal more closely over the weekend. Thanks for alerting me about the acquisition. I get a flood of PRs each morning and missed seeing that one.
