I feel they believe they can stay solo and still be able to make those monster profits.They have a competitive moat with their unique niche markets, own a lot of their assets, have manageable debt, and have quite a sizeable war chest.

If push comes to shove they've got a ways to run before they feel any pressure to consolidate.
