Lawson Software Formed a Tweezer Top

October 29th, 2011

Lawson Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:LWSN) shares closed the session flat by $0 or 0% from its previous close. Lawson’s latest price action developed a short term reversal pattern in the form of a tweezer top, which is a candlestick pattern that is usually formed at the end of a uptrend. Given that the tweezer top is considered a reversal pattern, traders with long positions need to monitor stock price action for confirmation of weakness and plan position accordingly.

Lawson Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:LWSN) provides enterprise software solutions for specific services industries. The Company provides financial management, human resources, professional services automation, procurement, distribution, and customer relationship management solutions. Lawson has customers in the healthcare, retail, professional services, public sector, and other industries.

Lawson’s stock has been a defined range with support at $11.04 and resistance at $12.85, which can be used by traders managing their trades, given the possibility of short term weakness in the stock.

Tweezer tops are exactly the opposite of tweezer bottoms, as they define a resistance point for Lawson Software that needs to be digested prior to the stock price to move higher.

Tweezer tops can be formed at the end of an uptrend, at a clear horizontal resistance point, or within a downtrend when price action is dealing with the declining resistance trend. Like any other candlestick pattern it needs confirmation by trading below the previous day low. Below an example of Tweezer Top reversal patterns:

Infor buyout of Lawson Software approved by shareholders

June 30th, 2011

A majority of Lawson Software shareholders approved the company’s sale to Infor and Golden Gate Capital during a meeting on Wednesday, paving the way for the creation of the industry’s third largest ERP (enterprise resource planning) software vendor after SAP and Oracle.

The $1.8 billion (£1.12 billion) sale, “is advisable, fair and in the best interest of Lawson stockholders,” CEO Harry Debes said. Shareholders asked no questions about the deal.

A number of Lawson shareholders had filed lawsuits against the acquisition, saying the $11.25 per share price agreed upon was unfair. Those legal matters were expected to be settled “on or about June 22,” Lawson said in a filing with the US Securities & Exchange Commission last week.

The addition of Lawson will give Infor a strong hand in healthcare and human resources software. It would also stand as a major initial milestone for Infor CEO Charles Phillips, a former Oracle co-president who is credited with playing a key role in that vendor’s long string of acquisitions.

Technology M&As may cost speculators more than $1 bn

April 28th, 2011

Lawson Software’s agreement to sell itself for about $1.9 billion wiped out $175 million for investors who had speculated a higher offer was on the way.

Lawson, which counts billionaire Carl Icahn as one of its biggest shareholders, agreed to be acquired by Golden Gate Capital and Infor for $11.25 a share on Tuesday, 10% below the nine-year high reached this month after the parties had disclosed they were in talks, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

While Lawson said it searched for better offers and found none, bets on a superior bid had left the stock trading at $12.13 the day before the deal was announced. With companies from Tenet Healthcare to Cephalon and NYSE Euronext trading a combined $947 million above their takeover prices after the pace of worldwide deals climbed 22% this year, some speculators projecting sweetened bids may be disappointed.

Equinox Minerals already lost C$229 million ($241 million) in value after investors incorrectly bet that China’s Minmetals Resources would counter Barrick Gold Corp’s $7.6 billion takeover. “It’s a dangerous game,” said Peter Lobravico, New Yorkbased vice president of merger arbitrage trading and sales at Wall Street Access.

“You’re not always going to get another bidder to step in. It is healthy for the arb community to have some reminder that there is risk in risk arbitrage.” Terry Blake, a spokesman for St. Paul, Minnesota-based Lawson, declined to comment.

Private-equity firm Golden Gate and Alpharetta, Georgiabased Infor, which makes software used by manufacturers and distributors, are paying almost $1.9 billion, excluding net cash, to acquire Lawson’s healthcare software, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Lawson’s stock was driven higher in the last month by speculation Oracle may be interested in a takeover after Lawson disclosed March 11 that it was in talks with San Francisco-based Golden Gate and Infor about an unsolicited $11.25-a-share proposal.

Oracle not bidding may signal the second-largest seller of business applications software is exploring a bigger deal, said Richard Williams, an analyst at Cross Research.
