But what is odd is that GDT is trading just at $75 for some days, but BSX is trading at $22, or near the price the deal was made at. Hence, this deal should still be worth today $80/share. So, I suspect something else is at work here. Either the expectation is that the deal will not necessarily go through (either BSX will back out, or Abbot, or there will be regulatory issues), or the price may simply be pinned right now upon expiration of options at the end of the week.
