Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
German term or phrase: Abfindungsfantasie
Sturmwarnung: Volle Auftragsbücher und eine Portion Abfindungsfantasie - die beste aller Welten für Repower-Aktionäre. Doch jetzt droht Ungemach.

........Bisher haben die Notierungen zwar gegenüber dem Höchstkurs an Wert verloren. Die Aktie ziert aber immer noch eine saftige Prämie. Einer kleinen Chance auf ein paar Abfindungsprozente mehr steht nun das Risiko einer Kurshalbierung gegenüber.

agree  RobinB: This is certainly along the right lines, and explains why the shares are trading at a premium; see my discussion entry. Maybe "squeeze-out hopes/expectations"....

  -> in this case yes it could be "squeeze-out", but in general not in every case.
agree  Jonathan Bourg: I like it, would 'hopes for a buyout' work better in the syntax perhaps?
