US listed JOBS

Hi,

Richard here and I have a question on a US listed stock JOBS. I understand that the Chinese company has agreed to privatize at USD79 per share. However they are only trading at USD69ps - just wondering why the discount? Would you be recommending to sell or wait?

Thx Richard

Answer

Hi Richard,

I couldn’t find details of this offer. If you email me ([email protected]) I’ll try and have a look. Without knowing the details, I suspect the prevailing discount to the offer is a consequence of the offer coming from a Chinese company.

Weekend Q&A: Volatility spiked on Friday after Israel launches strikes on Iran

The ASX200 endured a week to remember, closing down -2.8% on concerns that interest rates will remain “higher for longer” and increasing concerns that the Middle East tensions will deteriorate further after Israel retaliated against Iran following last week's drone attack. It's hard to imagine an amicable conclusion to the current problems in the Middle East, but we all hope it doesn't become another painful, prolonged affair like the Ukraine–Russia war, which has now entered its 26th month.
