Oklo stock tumbles as Financial Times scrutinizes valuation
Investing.com - BTIG downgraded TrueCar (NASDAQ:TRUE) from Buy to Neutral following the company’s recently announced acquisition agreement with Fair Holdings. The automotive pricing platform, currently valued at $216.68 million, has shown remarkable volatility in recent trading sessions.
Fair Holdings, a private company, has agreed to acquire TrueCar for $2.55 per share, prompting BTIG to reassess its rating on the stock. The company’s shares are currently trading at $2.45, with InvestingPro data showing an impressive 71.33% return over the past week.
TrueCar shares are currently trading approximately 4% below the acquisition price, which BTIG analyst Marvin Fong considers an appropriate discount given the "non-zero risk" that the deal might not be completed.
The stock has already gained approximately 65% since before the acquisition announcement was made public.
BTIG suggests that the substantial gain investors have already achieved is "worth locking in" rather than maintaining exposure to the small remaining upside potential.
