BCE Inc. (NYSE: BCE) is recently down 80 cents to $35.26.
BCE, Canada’s largest telecommunications company, announced on June 30, 2007, that it concurred to be acquired by an investment arm of Ontario Instructors Pension, Providence Partners and Madison Dearborn Partners for an announced deal price of $42.75 per share. The Federal Communications Commissions cleared the deal on Dec. 20.
BMO Capital Markets states, “we reiterate our view that BCE stock could trade down to $27 should the deal break and trade in the $30 range on a seasoned basis.” BCE May option implied volatility of 48 is above its 26-week average of 31 according to Track Data, suggesting more massive movement.
