Is Minerals Technologies (MTX) a takeover target?
A leveraged buyout does not work for Minerals Technologies on its latest figures: the figures a buyout model needs (revenue, EBITDA, the share count and the price) are not all on file. Historically 8.6% of companies with its figures were bought within a year (1.71× the average). Latest signal (2026-11-05): Forrestania Resources Declares Zenith Minerals Takeover Bid Wholly Unconditional.
Why a leveraged buyout does not fit
The buyout model needs Minerals Technologies' 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.
The odds, from history
Historically 8.6% of companies with its figures were bought within a year (1.71× the average). Its figures put it in decile 10 of 10 (10 = the most likely to be bought). The odds come from a model of every merger proxy, tender-offer response and going-private statement filed on EDGAR since 2011, set against each company's size, margins, debt, cash flow and growth the year before.
