Is Dillard's (DDS) a takeover target?

A leveraged buyout does not work for Dillard's on its latest figures: the figures a buyout model needs (revenue, EBITDA, the share count and the price) are not all on file. Latest signal (2026-04-06): Merger proxy (DEFM14A).

Why a leveraged buyout does not fit

The buyout model needs Dillard's revenue, EBITDA, share count and share price; not all of them are on file, so it gives no buyout price.

What a takeover could cost

Takeovers on record paid a median premium of 32.5% over the share price before the deal (the middle half 20% to 51.8%), according to the 1,437 merger proxies and tender-offer responses on EDGAR that state a premium.
