It is merger season in Silicon Valley. More than $100bn in technology deals were done in the first half of this year alone, according to Mergermarket. The numbers for the second half will probably be even bigger. The year-end tally will include Facebook’s $19bn acquisition of WhatsApp, Oracle’s $5.3bn purchase of Micros Systems and a significant entry from normally deal-shy Apple, which has agreed to buy headphone maker Beats for $3bn.
現在是硅谷的并購季。Mergermarket的數據顯示，僅今年上半年完成的科技公司并購交易總值就超過1千億美元。下半年完成的交易額可能還會增加。今年的交易包括Facebook以190億美元收購WhatsApp，甲骨文(Oracle)以53億美元收購Micros Systems，通常不涉足此類交易的蘋果(Apple)也大舉進入并購市場，同意以30億美元的價格收購耳機制造商Beats。
