	The day after Microsoft announced its plans to acquire Nuance, Microsoft stock had risen 6 cents to $255.91, while “Nuance stock blasted 16 percent higher to $52.85,” Seitz reported. When a company purchases another, it is common for the stock price of the acquiring company to experience a temporary decline, while the stock price of the target company tends to surge. The decline in the acquiring company's share price is often due to paying a higher price than usual for the target company or taking on debt to fund the acquisition. ~~On the other hand~~, ~~the short-term increase in the target company's share price is~~ a ~~result of shareholders agreeing~~ to the ~~deal only if the purchase~~ price ~~exceeds their company's current valuation~~.

			When a company purchases another, it is common for the stock price of the acquiring company to experience a temporary decline, while the stock price of the target company tends to surge. The decline in the acquiring company's share price is often due to paying a higher price than usual for the target company or taking on debt to fund the acquisition. Microsoft did acquire Nuance for $56.00 per share, which was a 23% premium to the closing price of Nuance on Friday, April 9 2021, in an all-cash transaction valued at $19.7 billion, inclusive of Nuance’s net debt.

			However, in the long term, acquisitions generally have a positive impact on the acquiring company's share price.

	The TEV/Total Revenues multiple reflects whether a company overvalues or undervalues or its stocks or whether its valuation is fair. If a company's theoretical enterprise value is high in proportion to its actual revenue, its ratio is large, meaning it's overvalued. The lower the better, in that, a lower EV/R multiple signals a company is undervalued. From the above data we can come to the conclusion that Nuance is overvalued relative to its competitors.
