 Truist Securities analyst Neal Dingmann said Tuesday that the nature of Continental Resources Inc.s CLR, 14.33 70-per-share take-private offer from Harold Hamm for the oil and gas company signals that the companys board is open to other bids. The offer is not binding and the board plans to evaluate the offer before moving forward, which we expect is an intentional strategy to potentially open the doors to competing bids from large cap public peers, Dingman said.
