Well, it's possible that they recognize that market capitalizations of tech companies are a little saturated right now given their sources of revenue and growth plans. So while your stock is overvalued, one of the best ways you can take advantage of it is making stock-heavy acquisitions (even if the deal is 50/50 cash-stock, it helps when your stock is valued at $550 a share). How else could they take advantage of high stock valuations in the short term?
Good point. It kills me,however, when people quote a stock price when they really should talk about market cap. Stock prices are basically arbitrary unless you consider shares outstanding.
