Bk. Something else that isn't talked about much but is extremely relevant...
How much revenue does MDT stand to lose in a 5 year period while they develop a completely new robot versus buying one that's nearly ready? I mean... literally it makes financial sense for the company to buy titan for this sole reason alone...it pays for itself in under 5 years!
Second...spend 350 mill and don't forget you gave titan a 5 year running start to take market share and enhance their IP portfolio...hope the new MDT robot doesn't infringe on any of the existing patents titan owns .
