I think DLR at 15X EBTIDA is priced to perfection (requiring very fast growth) and thereore bound to disappoint in this environement of dimishing expectations.
The offer is a commodity (real estate) seekign to capture fast shrinking corporate budgets, particullarly in the financial sector. With all sorts of real estate prices coming down why would anyone want to pay 2.6 times book value for a company who historically has delivered value destroying, sub 5%, returns on (book) equity?
This stock is only down 25% from the peak and is a great short in my view.
