Wall Street is Betting The Microsoft-Activision/Blizzard Deal Will Fail

[Gizmo_Duck]

Shares of the gaming juggernaut are trading 25% below Microsoft’s $95 offer, indicating investors see risk the buyout won’t close as planned. This risk premium is more than double that of Twitter Inc. following Elon Musk’s offer, and higher than most of the announced -- but still pending -- deals tracked by Bloomberg.

With Activision shares trading 25% below Microsoft's offer, Wall Street certainly believes the deal will fail. Activision shares have been hovering around $76. Anyone who buys now will receive $95/share if the Microsoft deal is approved. That's quite a return, with a discrepancy suggesting that the market believes the deal will fail.

Yeah they did

Wall street doesn’t work like that. There’s no reason to sit on activision stock for weeks/months until the deal goes through.

It’s not about “wall street” thinking the deal won’t go through. That’s the sony stan angle cause this dude wanted to write an article.

It’s written by Jason Schreier long time Sony centered “journalist”

It’s been trading that low for months. People are not just gonna pile in now when they know the deal won’t go through for months. It’s a story about nothing. They just needed some clicks.

You do realize Sony themselves have proven a lot of his rumors wrong. The Bend studio stuff, the PS4 sales target increase, etc, were all proven false by Sony.

Jason Schreier isn't exactly a Sony centered journalist if he's been exposed for spreading FUD.

He’s been reporting on Sony for years. Even been known to jump in twitter fanboy wars.

Yeah his MO is to spread Fud around. That’s what this article exists for.
