AcquirerCo is acquiring TargetCo in an all-stock transaction. AcquirerCo has a P/E of 25.0x and TargetCo has a P/E of 15.0x.
If TargetCo is acquired at a 40% premium, is the deal accretive or dilutive?
- Accretive, because the acquirer's P/E is still higher than the offer P/E.
- Dilutive, because the target's earnings yield is now lower than the acquirer's.
- Dilutive, because the 40% premium is too high to overcome.
- Accretive, because any deal with a P/E of 25.0x acquiring a 15.0x P/E is accretive.
