ADT shareholders are the clear winners here. My read is that the money is mostly made, and what's left is a small spread plus a go-shop that could still bring a better bid.
- On Oct. 29, ADT and Thrive Holdings announced a definitive agreement at $10 cash per share, a 45.6% premium to the unaffected Oct. 27 close of $6.87. That's about $7.6B in equity value and $15.3B in enterprise value.
- $ADT closed Oct. 29 at $9.87, up 33.2%, and was flat in Oct. 30 pre-market. That leaves roughly 13 cents to the offer price.
- The deal is signed but not closed. It still needs stockholder and U.S. antitrust approval, with closing expected in Q1 2027. A go-shop period runs through Nov. 28, so other offers are possible.
- TechCrunch calls Thrive Holdings OpenAI-backed, which is why this looks odd for a home security company. The announcement talks about capital and engineering capabilities. It names no specific AI product plan, and ADT says its data-protection and privacy policies stay unchanged.
This fits how I usually see deals: good for the company being bought, and too early to judge for the buyer. I'd watch for a rival bid before Nov. 28 and for any product plans Thrive shares after closing.

The number that matters in CXMT's quarter is 19.3%, the sequential growth. Everyone is quoting 613% year over year, but quarter on quarter China's memory champ grew far more modestly, which makes the cheap-Chinese-supply panic look like a convenient story for a selloff that has more than one driver.

If Bloomberg's report holds, Marvell would be paying for optics with its own stock. The market's first reaction fits my usual read on deals: they tend to favor the company being bought more than the buyer. Bloomberg reported on October 28, citing unnamed sources, that Marvell is…
