When Tech M&A Deals Get Blocked by Regulators
from Tech M&A with Fexingo: Software Acquisitions, Strategic Buyers, and Tech Deals · host Fexingo
Lucas and Luna explore the rising trend of blocked tech acquisitions, using the recent collapse of Adobe's $20 billion Figma deal as a central case. They break down why regulators are pushing back harder, how stock prices react when deals fall apart (Adobe shares jumped 4.3% in one day), and what Microsoft's abandoned $69 billion Activision play tells us about the new antitrust era. Plus: what startups should do when their exit plan hits a regulatory wall. #TechMergers #Antitrust #Adobe #Figma #RegulatoryRisk #Microsoft #Activision #FTC #DOJ #MAndA #DealBreak #EnterpriseSoftware #BusinessStrategy #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #StartupExit #MergerControl Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
