Why didn't TECH just buy all of CIST?

Now that TECH has bought CIST only product with a market, should CIST shareholders dump and run?

Why did TECH just spend $750,000 for one product line and leave CIST with all of that cash?

TECH has enough cash to buy CIST outright, so why just buy part and leave all of CIST's cash behind?

I'm not familiar with the deal, but it sounded to me like Techne was going to pay CIST royalties based on success of the product. Again, I just breezed the info a couple days ago and am going from memory here.

Breakout

Anyone know why?
Is there a more active thread? When my money's making money and I have no clue I feel foolish.

Somebody please wise me up.

Mike,

Sit back and enjoy TECH!
Look at older posts in our thread: they tell you why TECH is a fantastic company and why the price WILL go up. You might need patience, there may be set-backs, but sooner or later it's bound to be a big winner, IMO.
The Yahoo thread is not much more active. I stopped posting on both, because there was not more to add to my earlier postings; don't want keep on repeating myself too much.
Why "suddenly' a new up-tick? well, it's the same excellent company as before, and somebody out there thinks so too. I personally think it is still vastly under-followed, and under-appreciated. Once thought the fair value is at about 30; I now think, it is north of 43.

Cheers DrJohn

Dr. John,

I agree with your @ $30 fair value for TECH. What has prompted you to up you fair value to $43? Has the long term outlook brightened/ growth rate increased?

FWIW, In my experience, stocks with good momentum (like TECH has) will run past fair value - often by a large %.

Shane,

Tech is expected to earn about 0,78-o,8 USD/share in FY 99 and about 1,o in FY2000. However, if we exclude the extraordinary one-time items related to goodwill amortization this year, Techne's operating results were extremely strong, actually stronger than in the past: For the 6 months ended Dec 98 they reported net income of 7,1 mill ('97: 6,3 mill) including the extraordinary item of 4,7 mill in 98; Let's add 3 millions of these 4,7 to the bottom line and the "real" net earnings might have been somewhere at 10 million, i.e a surge of over 60% ; there are 5% more shares outstanding, but it still comes down to a EPS of 60% higher than in 97. Let's make it 50%. This is a higher growth rate than in the past, and for the reasons outlined in our older postings I think it will apply for the remainder of this year and, likely, for the next year as well. Which translates into a "corrected" EPS of about 1,15 for FY,99 and of 1,5 in FY2000 (if you assume a growth rate of 30% only), or of 1,7 (if you assume a growth rate of 50%). Lets take the lower number (i.e 30% growth for 2000, apply a P/E of 30 and you have a share price of 45. Of course, the target price would be much higher, if you take the higher numbers, or award a higher P/E (which Techne deserves: industry leader, superb past history, excellent fundamentals, excellent balance sheet…). Well these are just my thoughts.

Dr. John,

This sounds an awful lot like you. <g> (from IFC here on SI) I think you've caught somebody's ear.
