Ingredion buys Tate & Lyle for $3.6 billion — grab the buyout premium
Created
Thesis
When a company is acquired, its stock price usually jumps to match the buyout offer. Ingredion is paying a premium to buy Tate & Lyle, which means Tate & Lyle shares will likely surge toward that offer price. If the deal is guaranteed to go through, buying the stock now is like picking up money off the table. This is a classic buyout play where the buyer is paying big for the company's valuable food science formulas.
Strategy approach
Build an arbitrage/momentum strategy for TATYY (Tate & Lyle ADR) on the Daily timeframe. Enter long if the current price is more than 3% below the implied buyout price of the Ingredion deal. Exit if the deal is blocked by regulators or after 30 days.
