Current thesis
Closing at $70 would deliver approximately 40% upside from the $49.90 anchor. BHF's second-quarter release reported $258 million of adjusted earnings, an estimated 430%–450% combined RBC ratio and $0.9 billion of holding-company liquid assets, supporting an operating business behind the transaction rather than a thesis based solely on the spread.
