"While possible, we do not believe a higher offer is likely," Robert W. Baird analyst Mark Marcon wrote in a research note. "Valuation appears fair in our view, there are few potential competing strategic buyers given the size of the deal, and MPS' board of directors is recommending the offer," he said. Stifel Nicolaus analyst James Janesky estimates that MPS could trade at $16 to $17 at the peak of the economic cycle. But he doesn't see the stock getting there anytime soon. MPS, as a company that provides professional staffing services, is a cyclical company that depends on businesses that need to add staff.

"We do not expect any significant changes in the competitive environment in the near term," William Blair analyst Timothy McHugh wrote in a research note. "We have no reason to believe that any other companies in this space are close to merging with another company, and Adecco has said that the MPS transaction will be its last major acquisition for a while." Adecco will now focus on organic growth, De Maeseneire told Reuters. "The big acquisitions are done now," he said. "We now have a strong platform to grow organically."
