Here's Why Aspen Technology Shares Are Soaring This Week

Shares of Aspen Technology (NASDAQ: AZPN) are on fire this week. The stock closed Thursday's trading 18.7% above last Friday's closing price, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The fuel for this big move came from a generous buyout offer.

Industrial giant Emerson Electric (NYSE: EMR) will merge its software operations with AspenTech, adding a $6 billion cash contribution to the reformed company. Emerson becomes the majority shareholder of AspenTech with a 55% stake. The remaining 45% remains in the hands of current AspenTech shareholders.

All told, each existing AspenTech share will be exchanged for an $87 cash payment and 0.42 shares of the new AspenTech company.
