DRIVE STOCK
How does a takeover of a company drive its stock price up???
how exactly does this work?
In cases where an announced buyout or takeover quickly drives the market price of the target company above the announced purchase price, this almost always indicates that "the market" believes an even better competing purchase offer will soon appear.
If the takeover is hostile - if target company ABX does not want to be bought out by bidder XYZ - the victim of the hostile takeover will search for a "white knight," meaning another company it feels more comfortable with that could be persuaded to launch a competing purchase offer.
Analysts who follow the sector will speculate, in advance, as to whether there will be a competing higher offer. Because of their in-depth knowledge of the sector, they will also speculate as to the identity of the company that could serve as a white knight, or could launch a rival or competing bid.
Even when no 2nd bid emerges, all this excitement can easily drive a stock's market price above the price set by the first purchase bid.
