A large number of subscribers are holding General Cable (BGC) stock from $10.  Newer subscribers are holding BGC from as high as $21.  BGC has received a $30 cash buyout offer from Prysmian Group.  The Arora Report had previously identified BGC as a takeover target.

A large number of subscribers have almost tripled their money.

The Arora Report subscribers have benefited tremendously from our propensity to find buyout targets in advance.  This is the 131st buyout of an Arora Report portfolio company.  The 130th buyout was of Advanced Accelerator Applications (AAAP) which has been  bought out by  Novartis (NVS).  The Arora Report subscribers doubled their money in that buyout.

What To Do Now

The transaction is likely to close in the second half of 2018.  We do not expect a higher offer but that is always a possibility.  What to do now depends on your personal preference.  The stock is trading at $29.30 as of this writing.  There will be over 3% additional return  if the stock is held and ultimately tendered at $30.  However for some subscribers there may be better uses of cash.
