Vocus' Data Fun House Spooks Another Suitor

We restore our fair value estimate for Vocus to our previous AUD 3.00 per share on a stand-alone basis, prior to the recent takeover hysteria. The shock of a fourth bidder for the group withdrawing its interest will linger for some time. Indeed, it is unlikely Vocus' stock price premium to our stand-alone intrinsic assessment will ever reclaim even the 30%-heights before the recent Indicative Proposals were unveiled.
To begin with, Vocus' data room has lived up to the Kinder Surprise "fun house"...
