Business Analysis : Dixons And Carphone Plc

Whether or not the merger acquisition is successful depends on (a) the net present value of the investment and (b) paper announcement of the merger. I mean once the merger is sealed, between three and eleven days, changes in the company’s value (the accurer and target) at the time of annoucement of the merger determines the acquisition financial success. The paper announcement returns is supported by Andrade Mitchell and Stafford (2011) after using the database of University of Chicago. Simulation analysis can also be used.

A merger is a partial or total combination of two separate business firms and forming of a new one. There are predominantly two kinds of mergers: partial and complete. Partial merger usually involves the combination of joint ventures and inter-corporate stock purchases. Complete mergers are results in blending of identities and the creation of a single succeeding firm. (Hicks, 2012, p 491). Mergers in the healthcare sector, particularly horizontal hospital mergers wherein two or more hospitals merge into a single corporation, are increasing both in frequency and importance.

The Stock market reaction to the acquisition of the PacifiCorp seems to portray the deal as win-win situation since it created value for both companies. The Berkshire Hathaway’s share price closed the day at 2.4%, with a $2.55 billion gain in market value, while the Scottish power Plc only managed a $0.81 billion. For the previous owners, Scottish power included, the price offered shows the gain in value over a few years since the merger with PacifiCorp is significant. As per acquisition accounting, the $2.5billion increase in market value is the company’s increase market value. The share price increase in share price also indicates that it was a good long-term deal.

I think there will be no market concentration occurred as a result of this merger/acquisition. Because due to this acquisition the monopoly of the other giant company in this business will be reduced. This will lead to increase the price competition.

But still very big companies do the merger because they can become bigger by combing with their competitors and end their competition. But sometimes these mergers are expected to create a monopoly in the sector because they will dominate the whole sector and cause a biased decision for the customers. This case talks about the merger between two of the biggest office supplies companies Staples and Office Depot. Through this case we will discuss on the merger between the two big companies created a tension of monopoly and whether or not it will be profitable for both sides of the merger.

A merger will give each company an opportunity to grow beyond its current state not just in terms of their brands but economically too. The merger could be as successful as the acquisition between Steinhoff and Pepkor, which resulted in a ‘global worth of approximately R 4oo billion’. The new company formed will be more effective in generating income, and this means that shareholders will get more returns.
