  1. Biotech's Big Rally; Why Is Ackman Selling CP? - Bezek's Daily Briefing

    Aug 4, 2016 | Seeking Alpha

    By Ian Bezek

    On the last conference call, Ackman spent the majority of the time talking about Herbalife; it seems to be an obsession. If you're looking for cues of what Pershing Square may be working on, though, look at the proposed Hershey (NYSE:HSY) and Mondelez (NASDAQ:MDLZ) deal. Pershing Square seems to be opposed to the deal, a partner at the firm stated on that same conference call that:

    We would find it unacceptable for an acquisition of Hershey by Mondelez to delay or derail the productivity and cost savings transformation that's under way at the company.

    I personally oppose the merger because Hershey is a better-run firm than Mondelez. I don't want their management taking over the firm, and to that end, I hope Ackman is successful. He can have Mondelez and leave Hershey as it is.

    Rough transcript: ? >> caller: hey, jim, a big boo-yah to you. >> caller: i'm a hershey shareholder and also a graduate of milton hershey school.

    oh congratulations

    thank you sir

    do you think mondelez may be coming back with a bigger offer for hershey and do you think the changes that the Pennsylvania ag is putting on the trust to reform will have any difference in selling the company?

    >> yes i do i think they will come back and i think those changes will matter. it would not surprise me if we see a higher bid and maybe even a transaction. i would hold onto hershey. i think it's a good situation. thank you for that call.

    Rough transcript: >> better than hershey which i think is in play.

    >> well it's interesting you say that. i don't know if it's in play. cuz it's only one potential buyer, mondelez is not going to say much of anything for a while as the trust, the hershey trust goes through a lot of changes--

    >> waiting for the attorney general state of pennsylvania to be involved in it.

    >> yes, and see what you end up with on the hershey trust and maybe if you're mondelez you then come to play again.

    >> i just think it is important that you shot -- remember when you killed kellogg.

    >> yeah.

    >> kellogg reported really -- a very good quarter in terms of costs.

    >> did it.

    >> once again that stock is flying.
