Given your deep and longstanding expertize in the qmergar arbitrage: What are the chances of John Wood Group (JW LSE) takeover deal breaking?

Exceptional breakdown here. The insight about FCF per share being as much a financial engineering metric as a growth metric crystalizes the entire risk profile. I've seen alot of software companies in similr situations where aggressive buybacks mask underlying erosion, and the tell is always when capex and R&D get quietly cut while the share count shrinks. The boardroom dialogue structure really nails how these conversations probabbly unfold when activists circle.
