Learn about the stocks of global companies that made huge profits after successful merger deals in leading areas

Walt Disney Co signed a deal to buy the 21^st Century Fox television and film production company from its current owner, Rupert Murdoch. The deal was valued at a total of $52.4 billion in stocks. This contract aims to support the world’s largest entertainment company in the digital competition with rivals such as Netflix and Amazon.

The deal would end half a century of continuous expansion by Murdoch, now 86. When Murdoch was 21 years old he inherited an Australian newspaper from his father, which later became one of the most important news conglomerates and international cinemas.

Stocks of Fox, which rose more than 30% since the beginning of the talks about the possible deal from early November, saw a gain in today’s trading by 4.1%.

Disney also rose 2.2%, especially after the company said it expects to buy up to $20 billion of its stocks due to the reduction that may be caused by this purchase. The company will also assume paying $13.7 billion of Fox’s debt, within the deal.

Fox stockholders will allegedly receive 0.2745 Disney stocks for each of their stocks, ending up to own just around a quarter of Disney.

Under the agreement, which is expected to be finished in 12 to 18 months, Disney will purchase 21 Century Fox’s film and TV studios, as well as entertainment networks and international television companies.

The deal also includes 22 Fox regional networks that have the right to broadcast live games of baseball, basketball and hockey games as well as popular college games in the United States.

Disney’s international footprint will be expanded by acquiring Fox’s satellite features, including Star TV in India, a stake in the European pay TV provider SKY Plc and various sport broadcasting rights in many countries.

All of these new programs and networks of TV shows and movies will support Disney, which spends billions of dollars in its competition with the programs that appear on the Internet for free and followed by millions of audiences away from traditional television networks.
