Ackman Buys 3.1 Million Netflix Shares With $1.25 Billion Profit From Massive Treasury Short A few days ago we pointed out that one of the event risks in a sliding market is distressed M&A in which cash-rich buyers scoop up beaten down assets, and of which we have already seen two examples: Microsoft''s acquisition of a deeply depressed Activision and more recently, last week''s acquisition of Kohl''s by a consortium of buyers. Distressed M&A #2: Consortium Led by Acacia Research Bids Roughly $9 Billion for Kohl’s: WSJ As the bid(en)less market crashes, cash-heavy buyers will scoop up deals — zerohedge (@zerohedge) January 22, 2022 But it''s not just strategics that are finding good deals: financial buyers are also jumping in, as a tweet from Bill Ackman late on Wednesday showed.
