Danger Zone: Newell Rubbermaid / Jarden Acquisition
Despite what management or Wall Street says, 1+1 does not equal 3 for most mergers. Newell Rubbermaid (NWL) recently announced intention to acquire Jarden Corporation (JAH) is a perfect example of 1+1 < 2. The acquisition between two companies previously in the Danger Zone is in the Danger Zone this week.
