Newcrest-Newmont Merger: Fancy Index Shenanigans
- Back in February, Newmont Proposes Taking Newcrest Back Into The Fold. Newmont bumped, there was due dili, then Newcrest Backs Newmont’s US$19bn Offer in May.
- More recently, we have Newcrest: Shareholder Vote On 13th Oct, with a prescribed schedule. That makes things fun.
- There will be considerable movement of shares, and that will mean opportunity. Both up and down. I see US$3bn to buy, then A$1.5bn or more to sell a bit later.
