Investing.com – On Friday morning, Janus Henderson (NYSE:JHG) stock fell 1.7% to $50.51, after Trian Fund Management rejected Victory Capital’s (NASDAQ:VCTR) revised acquisition offer for the asset management company.

Trian Fund Management, the largest shareholder of Janus Henderson with a 20.7% stake, stated that it opposes Victory Capital’s increased competitive bid, which competes with its own privatization deal with Janus Henderson. The investment firm said that due to the risk of talent loss, it does not see a clear path forward for a deal with Victory Capital.

Earlier this week, Victory Capital revised its cash and stock offer valued at $8.6 billion for competitor Janus Henderson, intensifying the bidding war with Nelson Peltz’s Trian.

Analysts noted that Janus Henderson’s stock price remains above Trian’s proposed $49 buyout price, indicating that the market continues to expect the final transaction price to be higher than $49.

TD Cowen analyst Bill Katz said, “With less than a month until the vote, and the stock price still above Trian’s $49 offer, it seems more news is likely to come. We expect more major developments in the coming weeks.”
