Tech Today: Comcast a 'Dead Pool,' Amazon's Private Labels, Oracle Loses Favor
Here are some things going on today in the world of tech: Shares of Comcast (CMCSA) are up $1.30, or 4%, to $33.62, after the company this morning announced it will bid $35 per share in cash in pursuit of 21st Century Fox (FOXA), as many thought it might, opening the prospect of a bidding war with Disney (DIS), which has bid roughly $29 per share in cash and stock for Fox assets that include its movie studio and the stake in the Hulu digital video service. The Wall Street Journal’s Shalini Ramachandran and Erich Schwartzel explore the potential bidding war ins and outs today. R.W. Baird’s William Power, who rates Comcast at Outperform, with a $42 price target, calls Comcast a “Dead Pool of Money Near Term." Writes Power, “we believe the Fox assets are a solid strategic fit longer term, as the company is using its balance sheet to secure valuable content, which enhances its ability to compete in an increasingly OTT world." "However, the overhang of a potential bidding war with Disney and M&A activity in general are likely to continue weighing on the stock,” he concludes.
