MDVN is the 113th company in our portfolio involved in M&A.  The Arora Report’s unrivaled performance in picking companies that get bought out continues.

Congratulations to those holding MDVN.  MDVN has received an $81.50 cash buyout offer from PFE.

MDVN is long from $55.50.  It is trading at $80.42 as of this writing.  This is 143% annualized return at $80.50.

There are likely no hurdles and the deal is likely to close.

What To Do Now

It is your choice to sell it in the open market around $80.42 or tender your shares to PFE through your broker and get $81.50.   Since we are holding a fair amount of cash in the portfolio, for tracking purposes, the plan is to tender the shares and get $81.50 cash.  The tendering offer is a  better return than getting cash now selling in the open market compared to the prevailing interest rates on cash.
