What Is a Tender Offer — When Someone Wants Your Shares

Visible to anyone in the world

What is a tender offer and why it matters. A tender offer is when a bidder offers to buy shares from existing shareholders at a premium. It's a direct offer — you decide whether to sell or hold. Tender offers often mean someone wants control. If the offer is high enough, it can push the stock up. But watch out — if it falls through, the price can drop just as fast. This is what we teach in Module 5.2 — How to Find the Catalyst in Trading. https://youtu.be/2V3DQIJGBqI
