Morningstar Analyst David Meats Doesn't Think Carl Icahn Feels It Was A Great Idea To Buy Into Talisman Energy

When asked if Carl Icahn is probably involved in merger and acquisition activity with Talisman Energy Inc. (NYSE: TLM), Morningstar Analyst David Meats said he doesn’t think Carl Icahn feels it was a great idea to buy into Talisman in the first place.

“Whether he would be really motivated to get rid of this thing at what could be the bottom of the market, that’s a question mark,” he said.

Meats said it would depend on Icahn’s long-term view for oil prices.

Earlier Monday, Talisman confirmed that it has been in talks with Repsol SA (OTC: REPYY).
