AnheuserBusch Sells Nilus Mattive Discusses the Merger Between InBev...



Nilus Mattive discusses the merger between InBev and Anheuser-Busch. Mr. Mattive explains how this merger could bring large gains to Anheuser-Busch share holders.



On July 11, The Wall Street Journal reported that InBev would be upping its buyout offer for Anheuser-Busch by another $5 a share. On a day when the S&P 500 lost ground, Anheuser-Busch shares shot up about 8.6%. Then on July 14 the two companies announced a friendly merger worth $52 billion. This deal is in the best interest of their shareholders who will get a windfall and a quick, guaranteed return on their investment. Based on the offer, Bud's shares are currently trading around $67, up about 17% from May 27.



Anheuser-Busch isn't the only company making big moves. First, Mars announced it was buying Wrigley. Then there were rumors regarding the aforementioned InBev/Anheuser-Bush. The latest breaking story is that Dow Chemical said it was acquiring Rohm & Haas at a premium. ROH shares shot up 64% when the news hit the wires.



Rohm & Haas has been producing chemicals since 1909, and its products include coatings such as polymers and resins that are used for paint, ink, paper, and textiles. Performance chemicals, which find their way into plastics, household cleaning and personal care products, water treatments, foods, and materials used in electronics products. The company also boasts a major salt business. Rohm & Haas owns Morton, the #1 table salt brand in the U.S. to the version that's used to de-ice roadways. Also, Rohm & Haas is a steady earner. Per-share earnings went from $0.98 in 2002 to $2.21 in 2004, $3.41 in 2006, and should come in at $3.80 for all in 2008.



"A lot of investors were steering clear of the chemicals industry because of rising raw material and energy costs. However, as I pointed out all along, Rohm & Haas has 100 years of experience in this industry. Companies that have survived a century of ups and downs are very likely to survive another 20 business cycles, as far as I'm concerned," Mattive states.
