. 西部数据(WDC.US)拟收购日本存储芯片巨头铠侠,交易规模或将超过200亿美元
智通财经APP获悉,截至美股收盘,数据存储技术领导者西部数据 (NASDAQ:WDC)(WDC.US)的股价涨幅近8%。此前有媒体报道称,该公司即将与日本存储芯片巨头铠侠合并,交易规模可能超过200亿美元。虽然铠侠这个名字听起来有点陌生,但其在存储市场的地位非常高,它的前身是大名鼎鼎的东芝集团存储部门。
据媒体报道称,有知情人士透露,两家公司之间的谈判近期升温,双方最早可能在9月中旬达成协议。据报道,西部数据公司将以其股票为这笔交易提供资金,公司首席执行官David Goeckeler将继续执掌合并后的新公司。
Wedbush分析师Matthew Bryson表示,西部数据收购铠侠将有利于其NAND存储等业务。但Bryson表示,无法保证如此大规模的交易能得到所有相关政府监管机构的批准。“合并后的实体规模将与三星相当,日本是否会允许外国实体收购铠侠存在很多疑问。”
有媒体认为,这笔交易并不一定会达成,因为铠侠也一直在寻求独立上市的可能性,或者有可能与其它的公司合并。
存储领域另一巨头美光科技(MU.US)的股价截至收盘上涨近3%,至74.04美元。据报道,今年早些时候,美光也在考虑竞购铠侠。
