Twitter: Reject The Musk Offer, For Now

By -

  • Elon Musk offered to take Twitter private with a $54.20 offer.
  • The company has a 20% annual growth plan apparently ignored by most in the market.
  • The deal price doesn't offer a premium valuing the stock at less than just 6x well-documented 2023 revenue targets of $7.5 billion.
  • This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street. Learn More »
In a somewhat surprise move, Elon Musk made a sudden unsolicited offer to acquire Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) only days after deciding to not join the Board of Directors. The market had a mixed reaction due to the lowball price likely to be rejected by the company potentially leading to Musk selling his 9.2% stake. My investment thesis remains Bullish on the social media site as the offer continues to show the vast value here.

Disclosure: Long TWTR. Please review the disclaimer page for more details. 


Update - Apr. 25

The only reason to accept the bid now is a missed quarter. Otherwise, the BoD and CEO appears very weak to accept a deal now when they should be out projecting the growth opportunities in the company, yet they are mostly silent. 

-Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) is said to be re-examining Elon Musk's $43 billion offer after the Tesla founder revealed his financing and social media firm may be more receptive to a deal.
-Twitter is reportedly meeting on Sunday to discuss the offer, according to a WSJ report, which cited people familiar. Twitter (TWTR) is still working to asses its own value, which needs to be close to Musk's bid. The social media company may ask for sweeteners such as breakup fees if the deal were to fall apart.
-Twitter is expected to discuss the bid when it reports Q1 results on Thursday or possibly sooner, the WSJ said.

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.

This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   Update - June 23, 2023 C3.ai has fallen back to earth after the Investor Day meeting. The Deutsche Bank analyst call on the meeting suggests the company still isn't ready to produce actual numbers from the generative AI demand.  C3.ai ( NYSE: AI ) shares  fell more than 8%  on Friday after investment firm Deutsche Bank reiterated its sell rating on the enterprise software company after it held its investor meeting. Analyst Brad Zelnick said the event "left a lot to be desired" as there were  no details on financials, "limited" updates on the company's operations and investors did not really attend the event, despite it being positioned as for them. "While we appreciate the vast opportunity presented by AI, the event did nothing to ease our skepticism on the true differentiation of the company's platform, its traction with custome
