Analysis by: GLG Expert Contributor

Analysis of:Rush to Judgment (HP's acqisition of Compaq) | www.cfo.com

Over the past several years, many (even countless) analysts have discredited HP for their acquisition of Compaq. The companies are too big to merge, the products aren’t compatible, the management is not compatible, they will loss more than they gain…What makes this acquisition unclear, and many others in question, is their intention. If companies who are actively acquiring would spell out their strategies, unanswered questions and potential devaluation could be avoided.
