Stock dropped 13% today as the Street hates the deal. Big question is why would a semi company buy a sleepy software business. And the company did not do a conference call. As a result there were a bunch of downgrades. My cost basis: $250 or $2MM Current spot: $209 after touching $198 after the open MTM ($328K) Market cap decline was $14b1n Value of acquisition is $18b1n My recommendation is to buy Aug $200 puts for $4.70 and keep the position. By then the market should have some more clarity from management regarding the deal.
