CCIV Stock Forecast
So what next. Well, the probability of a merger is strongly priced in with shares up nearly fivefold from the $10 launch. A report from Reuters has driven the latest gains with the deal now looking imminent. It is unclear if a wall crossing exercise has begun or not in relation to the PIPE transaction. A PIPE is a Private Investment in Public Equity, basically a discounted share placing to raise capital. Reuters reports that the PIPE for CCIV Lucid merger could be up to $1.5 billion. A Wallcrossing is where potential subscribers to the PIPE are asked in advance if they have an interest in Churchill, but no specifics are given as to the nature of the transaction. Once they are wall crossed they are effectively an insider and are prevented from any discussions under insider trading rules.
In this case, the PIPE is likely at $10 so obviously, demand will be huge given the share price north of $50. This may stop any pre-hedging short selling as investors will likely be heavily scaled back in their allocations as demand outstrips supply.
