Why Is Vista Outdoor Stock Surging Today?
Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
Vista Outdoor Inc (NYSE:VSTO) is experiencing a surge in stock price following an unsolicited cash offer from MNC Capital for $35.00 per share. MNC Capital plans to fund the acquisition with $1.5 billion in equity and $1.4 billion in debt. The offer aims to maintain U.S. ownership of Vista's sporting-products division and national-security assets. Vista's Board is reviewing the offer, still supporting its prior merger agreement with Czechoslovak Group a.s. (CSG). This comes after a rejected $30 per share bid from Colt CZ Group. Vista advises shareholders to hold off on actions as its shares rise 4.60% to $32.63.
