Why Roomba Maker IRobot Stock is Trading Lower Tuesday?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
IRobot Corp's stock is trading lower after Amazon reduced the purchase consideration for the Roomba maker's takeover by 15%. The new terms state that Amazon will pay $51.75 per share, down from $61.00 per share. iRobot has also entered into a $200 million financing facility to fund its operations. The change in price per share for Amazon is likely to be offset by the planned increase in iRobot's net debt under the new financing facility.
