AXTA- New Buy- I made a bet that a third time will be a charm. Hypothetically IMO- mid thirties takes it. That's 15% from here. The reason why I bought. Past three Qtrs. of earnings beats. Previous suitors for the company. Oldie Snip from previous post>Axalta, whose largest shareholder is Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc, said it continued to pursue other “value-creating alternatives” although it did not disclose Nippon Paint’s role, if any, in the termination of the discussions. Nippon Paint, Japan’s biggest paint supplier and 39 percent owned by Singapore-based investment company Wuthelam Holdings Ltd, made the all-cash offer at a premium to where Axalta shares ended on Monday at $33.54, one of the sources said. The offer was credible enough for Axalta to end negotiations with Akzo Nobel, the source added.
