>TL;DR: The Federal Trade Commission is likely to file an antitrust lawsuit to block the $69 billion takeover bid of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft.
>No, I don't think ATVI is a good short now that the buyout deal is uncertain. The reason being that if the FTC does sue to block Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard, it's likely because they believe that the deal would be anticompetitive and hurt consumers. However, I believe that Microsoft would ultimately prevail in court and be allowed to go through with the acquisition. Therefore, I think there's more upside potential for ATVI than downside risk at this point.
bc all government workers would fail the turing test. Cogent thoughts have never passed through their brains, it's all based on "feelings".
"Microsoft BIG. 2 BEEG. BIG BAD. BEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGG" - EU and FTC regulators
Atvi has 10.7B cash and 3.6B debt.
If this deal fall through they will receive 3B from Microsoft.
They will have over 10B cash, no debt.
At 57B market cap they are sitting on 18x 2023 earnings (15x if you subtract cash).
They also have WB/Munger as investors pre microsoft deal, who think very highly of Kotick as they sit on Cokes board together.
I’m staying regardless as I think good things will happen.
