Great merger article - win win for Icahn but lose lose for everyone else

Great summary here: “If the impasse lasts to the meeting, investors will be faced with a tough decision. They could stay with the status quo, which includes HP’s recent tradition of restructuring the business about once a year, while promising this will be the change that makes a difference. The other option is merging two declining businesses and tossing in a bucketload of more debt, with yet another new management team and a new board loaded with appointees from activist investor Carl Icahn, who is behind the hostile shenanigans and is unlikely to stop the restructuring.”

They are def not willing to have John V and his band of HP washouts and Icahn sycophants run the show, even if a merger now made sense. Which it doesn’t. HPQ would do better to grab XRX when the street wakes up to the smokescreen underway and corrects the over-valuation. At that point they can take toner mfg and market share, sell off everything else. It’s not a happy ending for XRX jobs in that scenario. Your career risk mgmt plan should consider this potential.
