Just make sure you are using logical numbers when looking at acquisition targets.

For example, say Alda comes with a Q4/Q1 10 earnings of 3M (12M annulized), then the Company could sell for 10x earnings, so maybe 80-120Million dollars.

As G_M said its too early in the game, TO will not sell his crown gewel for such a price. However, that is the realistic value of Alda by early next year. However, if you want to see real $$ out of Alda then you are looking at valuing the therputic application of their products, which is very early stage, however, if you plan to stay in APH for 3-5 years it might be worth it.

Meanwhile 1.00$-1.5$ is a very logical exit.
