The literal value is their share price x total shares.
The notional value is at best the NPV of future profit streams. However Twitter's track record on profits are dismal so the claim is dubious legally.
- rileymat2 5y agoNo, that’s only for shares trading at the moment. Otherwise buyouts would not have the premium they normally do.
- randyrand 5y agoShare prices go up as you buy a company because you buy from the people that value their shares least first. You can’t just multiply the current price and expect everyone to be willing to sell for that amount.
- systemvoltage 5y agoWhat if someone is unwilling to sell? Or at an unreasonable price, say $100M/share?
- randyrand 5y agoThen you might not be able to afford to buy the company!
