Twitter Falls as Hindenburg Research Sees Risk of Deal Repricing

Twitter Inc. shares fell as much as 4.1% on Monday after Hindenburg Research LLC, an investment research firm that focuses on activist short-selling, said it sees a “significant risk” that Elon Musk’s proposed offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion gets repriced lower.
The billionaire disclosed an offer on April 14 to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share and take it public. Initially there was some skepticism over where the world’s richest person would come up with the cash equity to fund the purchase. But about 10 days later, Musk outlined his financing plans and the board agreed to the offer.
