3M, Synopsys, Capital One & Other Catalysts

Regulatory and enforcement review of the Synopsys-Ansys and Capital One-Discover deals, finalized PFAS rules by the EPA, and the SEC’s climate disclosure rule are important March catalysts to watch. This Bloomberg Intelligence litigation and policy outlook episode, hosted by financials litigation analyst Elliott Stein, gathered the team to discuss these and other catalysts. In addition, Meta’s suit challenging the FTC plan to toughen terms of the social-media giant’s $5 billion 2020 settlement is teed up for a key March 1 hearing, and a ruling is likely by March 15. Danske Bank, Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered will be in an appeals court on March 13 to argue for preserving dismissal of a suit by US servicemembers and their families alleging the banks facilitated transfers of millions of dollars to terrorists in Afghanistan. We also reviewed health-insurer earnings and the impact US elections might have on the drug-pricing provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
