LAST WEEK TECHNICAL QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANWSER:

The right answer was it can’t be determined. While most answered it would be accretive, we are unable to determine this because we do not know the structure of the deal and whether it was all cash, all stock, or a combination of both. If it was a pure stock-for-stock transaction, the acquisition of a lower P/E company by a higher P/E company would likely be accretive.
