"$STO.AX : Bargain Hunters For those that do buy and hold the unwinding of STO today may represent an opportunity. Estimate of pre-bid price is $6.95. Some of those arbitrageurs are going to unwind as many of them have a policy of immediately exiting on a deal break which is a very sensible policy on their part because otherwise there is a psychological bias in holding on and converting yourself from an arbitrage fund to a long fund which is not the deal under the client arrangement. That can act in a favour as a retail investor. Generally something with high liquidity might revert back to its"

"$STO.AX : Autopsy Interesting article from James Thompson at the AFR. Maybe someone smarter than me can explain why the Santos board did not want to obtain scheme approval prior to the Treasurer making a judgement I assume it's about the cost involved in going through the scheme process but really this seems to be the general process with most acquisitions that the FIRB approval is down the track and not upfront.

"$AUB.AX : Valuation Excess returns model comes up with a valuation of $42 per share but the assumptions are always a bit fuzzy. I guess with a control premium you can argue $45 per share is not unreasonable. It's cheaper then $SDF.AX Also looking at the exchange rate the Australian dollar is a bargain relative to the Swedish krona at the moment. So this is obviously opportunistic.

Let's consider four recent arbitrage deal breaks: $MYX.AX $AUB.AX $STO.AX and $ASK.AX that did not proceed for different reasons and consider whether you should sell immediately on a break or should wait until sometime afterwards when the dust settles.

"$QUB.AX : Heat Map Tornado Monte Carlo UniSuper. I've been looking at this arbitrage again and constructed a heat map tornado diagram and a Monte Carlo simulation. At first glance this looks very attractive with a yield of about 12% and a per annum yield of 24%. However the downside is indeterminate and maybe circa 22%. If you assess a probability of closure of 80% you get an expected value of return of only 5% or 10% per annum. The problem with this arbitrage is that $QUB is a logistics company and there may be ACCC problems. FIRB is less likely to be relevant as MAM is a local acquirer."

Also it was prematurely broken by the media and then an announcement by $SGH.AX to try and give momentum. You would only invest for the optionality of an improved price. By my reckoning I estimate that the price needs to substantially improve beyond what is currently offered as $BSL have invested significant capital which should result in value to equity over the next few years. I would not vote to sell out at that price. Much"

"$GUE.AX : Money for Jam This is a very interesting one with a 33% yield in a month with thanks to @LittleTreesCap for bringing it to my attention. It's a niche opportunity as the deal is too complex for retail investors to quickly understand and too small for significant funds to devote the time and energy. The deal is that $GUE.AX is being bought out by $LITM on the Nasdaq so it's scrip for scrip. Instead of having a fixed ratio there is a variable ratio to make an equivalence of AUD$0.098. That is the part that usually throws people but is actually much more advantageous for $GUE holders as"

So I agree that the bidding war is at prices that are not a base case but require higher EV/EBITDA multiples.

"ASX200 Rebalance Arbitrage So today is the last day prior to the quarterly rebalance on Monday. It does look like there is positive movement in eight of the nine new additions. The passive funds do have to invest whether they like to or not and preferably not too early to avoid tracking error unless they have hedged their risk potentially by outsourcing to a hedge fund. Relative to the ASX200 as a whole which is up 0.5% the upside with an equal holding of all nine items is about 1.5% so you get three times the yield as a day trade. I'm not typically a day trader but for those that do this is"

""Among issues queried by Darbyshire was the accounting treatment of software on Humms balance sheet as an asset rather than an expense". This is a good one for accounting fiends. If you expense rather than capitalise an asset in the short term it looks worse for the company as operating costs increase and EBITDA does down. If you are using a multiple of EBITDA to value a company then the purchase price does down and shareholders get shafted from the accounting treatment. This is probably one reason why Jeremy is jumping up and down because this treatment serves to undervalue the company in"
