Gluskin Sheff Acquisition Complete

On January 22, 2019, we said the following of Gluskin Sheff:

“Gluskin Sheff  has an expected price range of $13.46-$48.08 by 2021-2023.  However, the absence of a dividend increase since 2016 and a decline below the undervalued level suggest that, at best, GS.TO can only increase to the “fair value” target price under favorable conditions.”

On March 22, 2019, Onex Corporation (ONEX.TO) announced that they would acquire Gluskin Sheff (GS.TO) for $14.25. Below are the final Altimeter and target ranges for GS.TO.
