Twitter: At A Crossroads

By -

 

  • Musk continues to file complaints regarding the Twitter spam account issue causing fears the deal won't close at the agreed upon price.
  • The company continues to fight back on the bot issue with the data suggesting the parties are talking about different issues.
  • The stock has immediate 30% upside on the unlikely close of the deal, or a larger user base to support higher stock prices when the economy improves.
  • This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street. Learn More » 

As Elon Musk continues to complain about the bots on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), the stock is at a crossroads. The deal offers 31% upside from here for shareholders holding out for the offer price, but Twitter likely faces considerable downside on a deal termination. My investment thesis continues to remain Bullish on the stock long term after a correction on the deal cancelation, if investors don't make a quick gain on a surprise close of the deal at the original terms.

Update - July 10

Should be a wild week. Where does $TWTR close on Monday with the meager canceled and a lawsuit? Twitter closed at $35 in after-hours, but the stock will likely trade lower on Monday. Dips should be bought either way.

  • Twitter Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) is said to have hired law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz LLP as it prepares to sue billionaire Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk over his termination of the $44 billion deal.
  • Twitter is targeting filing a lawsuit early this week, according to a Bloomberg report, which cited people familiar. Musk is using law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP.
  • The news comes as Musk said late Friday he's terminating his $44B deal to purchase the social media giant. An SEC filing from Musk's advisers says that on Friday, they sent a letter to Twitter giving formal notification that he's terminating the merger agreement.


Update - July 7

Musk doesn't have a way out of this deal. 

  • Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) is sinking postmarket, down 5.6%, alongside a Washington Post report that billionaire Elon Musk's $44B deal to acquire the company is in "serious jeopardy."
  • That's blamed on skepticism on Musk's side that Twitter's figures on the prevalence of spam accounts can be verified.
  • Musk's team has stopped engaging in certain discussions around funding the deal, including with one likely backer, according to the report.

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
