We are talking about a debt-free cash-rich company with low key metrics and strong growth prospects.

Additionally, MX recently repurchased ~2M shares at an average price of $18.51 per share.

Therefore, an agreement below $20 will be a gift to the buyer.

The only way I can imagine a price of about $17 per share is, if the company first pays out a special dividend of about $5 per share to empty its coffers.
