FAQ

Why Very Bearish?

The acquisition means SigmaTron ceases public trading, severely limiting market access for shareholders. Historical cases show that take-private transactions often lead to reduced stock valuations due to lower liquidity.

How important is it?

The take-private acquisition directly alters SigmaTron's investment status, impacting its future market dynamism.

Why Long Term?

The focus on restructuring and operational improvements may take time to yield results. Similar past acquisitions, like those of technology firms by private equity, often take 1-2 years to realize significant impacts.
