Walmart agrees to buy smart TV maker Vizio for $2.3B — sending Roku stock plunging

Walmart has agreed to pay $2.3 billion to acquire smart television maker Vizio — a move to bolster the retailer’s burgeoning advertising business as it takes on rival Amazon.

The deal, however, is seen as bad news for Roku, according to analysts. Roku, which also sells smart TVs and streaming devices, has an exclusive deal with Walmart to sell products fulfilled by Walmart on Roku devices.

Shares of Roku were down by nearly 7% at the start of Tuesday’s trading session on Wall Street.

The nation’s largest retailer will acquire Vizio in an all-cash deal valued at $11.50 per share.

Vizio’s stock was trading at around $10.98 a share in pre-market activity on Tuesday — more than 15% higher than its $9.53 closing price from Friday.

The deal is a blow for Vizio’s rival, Roku, which saw its stock price plummet by 24% in pre-market trading. Christopher Sadowski
Companies that advertise with Walmart will now be able to reach more potential customers thanks to the acquisition.

“By bringing our capabilities and resources together, we’ll drive innovation and create even more value for our customers,” Vizio CEO William Wang said.

Wang predicted that Vizio’s “technology will help bring a scaled, connected TV advertising platform to Walmart Connect.”

“This transaction delivers immediate and compelling value to Vizio stockholders and is a true testament to the hard work of the entire Vizio team.

Amazon To Join the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Replacing Walgreens

Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) rose 1% in early trading Wednesday following news that the online retailing giant is set to join the Dow Jones Industrial Average, replacing pharmacy chain Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA).

The changes will be effective next Monday, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, which manages the storied 30-stock benchmark and announced the move Tuesday.

S&P said the changes were prompted by Walmart’s 3-for-1 stock split, which also takes effect next week—and reflect “the evolving nature of the American economy.”

The blue-chip index is widely followed by individual investors but is dominated by legacy industrial companies. Adding Amazon will increase the benchmark index's weighting in tech stocks.

Amazon, now one of the world's largest online retailers, has come a long way since its start as an online vendor of books in 1995.

However, Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder, former chief executive, and the world's third-richest man, has been selling Amazon stock lately. Bezos sold more than 14 million shares of his company valued at roughly $2.4 billion, bringing the total sold since the start of the month to 50 million.

Shares of Amazon are up more than 11% this year. Walgreens shares were down 3% in early trading Wednesday and are down 16% this year

Don't chase. But I don't day/swing trade. If $NVDA has good news, it'll bounce. May not help this guy though.

Hope someone made some money on the dip. $SMCI.

Crazy run. The 2020 me would have been all over this, but I've stopped trading volatile tickers. I am risk averse.
