ATVI is trading with a discount of 25% to the takeover price.
ATVI is being a target of takeover (agreed by shareholders) at 95$ by MSFT.
Some of the anti-trust organizations are opposing to it. That`s why the price is around 76.6$ right now (59 bn).The deal might go through as ATVI + MSFT will not create a monopolistic position on the gaming market, which is very fragmented and everything depends on the gamers mood/preferences. Even if the deal is not going through - ATVI shares are stalling because of the uncertainties related to the deal and it did not catch up with the peers to the upside. Another important factor: the company is beating expectations of both EPS and Revenues for 2 quarters already and there can be an interesting momentum. All in one the price has the margin of safety needed for a buy with 95$ PT
