I actually don't know what to make of acquisitions when it's two public companies. That $1.8b is more or less a market price. Think the market is over inflated

That $1.8b is more or less a market price. Think the market is over inflated? What difference does that make if you're own assets are valued by this mechanism also?
- SwellJoe 17y agoYeah, the market is dumb sometimes. Regardless, my primary concern, if I were at the helm at Adobe, would be trying to figure out how to make this seeming odd couple work out right. I don't see how it can possibly add $1.8 billion to the value of Adobe, but maybe I'm short-sighted.
- netsp 17y agoWell, assuming that it is worth somewhere around $1.8b (either because of its intrinsic value or because you could sell it for around that), it has already added about that even if they do nothing but just own it. If they have any sort of plan for really integrating (I think they might have a history of doing this), it probably means they want the mature sales/consulting/customisation part of the business. The technology side, as mentioned elsewhere, is not that interesting.
