Discussion:
Oshkosh acquiring JLG

I'm referring to FLA newsletter #282

USD 3 billion is quite a big money.

Linde AG, now the Linde Group, expected to sell Linde MH, now Kion, at somewhere 3 to 3.5 billion Euros. Suppose Euro is almost same with USD, these two amounts are in the same region or scale. Is JLG as big as Linde MH?

If Oshkosh to buy shares at USD 28 to total USD 3 billion, the total number of JLG's issued share becomes over 107 million shares. Isn't it far to big?

My guesse, based on a limited knowledge, suggests negative.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
