I don't divest unless the fundamental thesis changes; Grifols' buyout offer from Brookfield Asset Management is undervalued, so I maintain my "Buy" stance. Despite Brookfield's offer, I believe Grifols is worth more, as supported by recent 3Q24 results and the transaction committee's recommendation. The transaction committee advises against accepting the €10.5/share offer, aligning with my view that Grifols' real value is higher.
