The offer from Miter comes after PGTI agreed to be acquired last month by Masonite International (NYSE:DOOR) for $41 per share. Masonite is a leading name in the production of doors and door systems. The combination of PGTI and Masonite is expected to improve manufacturing capabilities, drive geographic expansion, and create synergies for the company.
The higher bid from Miter comes after earlier reports indicated that its previous $38 per share bid was rejected by PGTI. However, PGTI’s Board is now reviewing Miter’s latest M&A proposal to determine “If it is reasonably likely to lead to a superior proposal.”

Overall, the Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on PGT Innovations, and the average PGTI price target of $39.75 implies that the stock may be fairly priced at current levels.
