Judge's AT&T Time Warner ruling could reshape mega mergers
Bloomberg reports that U S District Judge Richard Leon will decide next week on AT T s proposed Time Warner takeover. A ruling against the government could unlock bids from Comcast Verizon and others and smooth paths for Cigna CVS and 21st Century Fox assets. The stakes reflect a shift to vertical deals amid digital disruption and favorable financing. Almost 1 trillion dollars in U S mergers and acquisitions have been announced this year, 55 percent more than 2018.
