WLR Foods and Pilgrim's Pride
內容大綱
This case is a sequel to "WLR Foods and Tyson Foods" (UV2529), which presents the attempted acquisition of WLR by Tyson Foods in 1994. Over the ensuing six years, WLR's stock price slides consistently downhill until 2000, when it is trading at a fraction of its 1994 value. When WLR's share price hits $4.59, Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (PPC) views the company as an attractive acquisition. This case asks the student to determine how much of a premium PPC should offer and whether WLR management will resist a takeover in 2000 as it did in 1994. Financial information is provided to allow students to compute both stand-alone and with-synergies valuations. The case is best taught immediately following UVA-F-1465. It is designed to be taught as a firm-valuation exercise in a first-year or second-year MBA finance course. It is also suitable for executive and undergraduate audiences. Student (F-1466 WLR-Pilgrims Pride.xls) and instructor (F-1466 TN.xls) spreadsheets are available.
