Neutral and watch-list views
- Merger arb: finds Brighthouse Financial interesting at a ~47% spread to Aquarian's $70 cash deal, citing valuation support and a potential backup bid (bullish lean, no stated position). (Japan Deep Value (@JapanDeepValue1), Oct 21, 2026; source)
- Notes the market doesn't believe the Aquarian $70 deal will close and that BHF preferreds haven't recovered either; no position. (Shmuel Londner (@ShmuelLon), Oct 19, 2026; source)
