[QUOTE="clegghorn, post: 267670"] _______ Actually, acquiring TNT would be no easy task. UPS has not done such an acquisition of this scope and scale. Deal making is not a one-size fits all venture. What do you think TNT is worth? Lets say for discussion purposes, 15-20 Billion USD? Thats a lot of bread. The question is not if UPS can write the check. We all know they probably have excellent lines of credit in addition to cash on hand. Two things have to be taken into consideration: One, TNT is becoming more expensive to acquire everyday, as TNT CEO Bakker says, the company’s objective is to remain an ongoing concern and strengthen its business. Two, the always-troublesome questions about who will take what positions at the executive levels has to be figured out. Lets not believe for a moment that the entire TNT executive level will cash out and give total control to UPS. The entire industry is evolving in a very interesting way. -The German Railway [DB] bought Bax Global. -Private equity bought TNT’s profitable logistics division. -By the way, The German government gave up majority ownership of DPWN years ago. Private and institutional investors are the majority shareholders in DPWN. -Fedex failed in its attempt to acquire an Indian transport company, however, they did successfully acquire their Chinese JV partner. The question for all these companies is not really which company is bigger, but what type of strategies are they employing for short and long term growth. Exactly what is the UPS business objective?
