Tapestry Inc. plans to buy back $6.1 billion in bonds issued to finance its now-abandoned acquisition of Capri Holdings, which was halted due to antitrust concerns. The company will redeem the debt at 101 cents on the dollar or euro, resulting in paper losses for investors holding bonds that had recently traded at higher values.
Tapestry, Inc. is a prominent house of lifestyle brands, featuring Coach, kate spade new york, and Stuart Weitzman. Coach serves as a global fashion house for accessories, while kate spade new york offers a range of everyday essentials, including handbags, apparel, and home accessories. The company markets its products through direct-to-consumer, wholesale, and licensing channels, encompassing retail stores, e-commerce, and licensed shop-in-shops.
Tapestry Inc. has raised its revenue forecast for the year, anticipating over $6.75 billion, driven by stronger-than-expected sales at its Coach brand and robust performance in Europe. This marks a growth projection of up to 2% compared to the previous year, an increase from earlier forecasts of flat growth. [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com)
Tapestry Inc.’s $8.5 billion acquisition of Capri Holdings Ltd. is in jeopardy following a court order that temporarily blocks the buyout, a significant win for the FTC. This ruling has led to a sharp decline in Capri's stock, which hit record lows, and has negatively impacted other companies facing antitrust scrutiny, such as Albertsons and Vizio.
The S&P 500 rebounded with a 0.21% gain, while the Nasdaq rose 0.76%, despite the Dow experiencing its first four-day losing streak since June. Tapestry's $8.5 billion merger with Capri was blocked by a federal judge, causing Capri's shares to plummet 50%. Tesla's stock surged 22% after strong earnings, boosting Elon Musk's net worth by $26 billion. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's compensation increased 63% to $79.1 million, despite his request for a pay cut due to security concerns. Meanwhile, Burger King and Taco Bell are removing onions from some locations following an E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's.
U.S. markets showed mixed results, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rising due to a 21.9% surge in Tesla shares after positive earnings and growth projections, while the Dow fell, impacted by Boeing and IBM. Tapestry's $8.5 billion acquisition of Capri was blocked, causing Tapestry's shares to jump 13.7% and Capri's to plummet 45.1%.

A judge has blocked Tapestry Inc.'s $8.5 billion acquisition of Capri Holdings, citing anticompetitive concerns. This ruling allows the US Federal Trade Commission to conduct its own internal trial regarding the merger, a process that could take months and potentially prevent the deal from proceeding.
UBS O’Connor is betting $4 billion on a revival in the merger-arbitrage market, which has struggled this year due to regulatory challenges. With a third of its portfolio in merger-arb, the firm anticipates a catalyst-rich quarter ahead, driven by the US presidential election and updates on key deals. Despite a slight recovery, merger-arb strategies remain among the weakest in hedge-fund performance, with a 3.5% gain compared to the broader industry’s 8.3%.
