NeoPhotonics: Merger Arbitrage

NeoPhotonics, NPTN, is an optoelectronics manufacturer being acquired by one of its larger peers Lumentum, LITE. This is a highly strategic transaction that is likely to pass its main hurdle, Chinese antitrust review. If the transaction closes sometime in the next 2-3 months quick 3-4% spread seems to be a decent play in the current volatile market.

Why It May Be A Good Time To Go Long NeoPhotonics Even Though Challenges Remain

NPTN posted bigger losses in Q2, but the quarterly numbers are likely to get better from here on out due to several factors. NPTN got an assist in Q2 from the partial return of Huawei, even though the negative impact of trade restrictions lingers on. The stock has looked weak for months, but the charts suggest NPTN is likely to change course in the not too distant future. NPTN is not without major risks, but long NPTN is still a bet worth taking for several reasons.
