and watchdog block the deal between microsoft and activision blizzard. is morning, microsoft stock seems to be getting rewarded, up 7% versus the 9% decline for activision. this brings us to the question of the day. is big tech too big to do big deals and is that a good thing? joining us now is ann berry, threadneedle founder and managing partner. thank you for being with us and it doesn't seem the market is too upset by the prospect of this deal going through, at least for microsoft. is this a sign that mark -- investors would rather microsoft spend money in a different way? >> -- focusing on cost containment and doubling down in areas like ai that has captured the imagination of the markets. the market is saying, microsoft, keep doing what you are doing. guy: activision felt like it was a deal that was targeted towards the metaverse. if i listen to the call last night, it was about ai. can microsoft grow in ai without doing deals? are these big tech companies going to be constrained by regulators when they point themselves towards ai? ann: microsoft and

shares of activision blizzard down 11%.icrosoft was actually up 7% because of stronger-than-expected earnings, and that helped the nasdaq at the close. we saw the dow jones and s&p 500 drag down by shares of first republic bank, which lost a further 30% following tuesday's 50% slide. authorities and other banks are in talks to help stabilize the litter after it revealed customers had withdrawn $100 billion -- help stabilize the lender. major european indices closing lower. the european union has agreed on a deal to set binding targets to the carbonates the aviation sector by forcing airlines to use more sustainable biofuel. flights taking off from you airports will have to run with at least 2% sustainable fuel mix with kerosene starting in 20 25. that threshold will gradually be increased to 20% in just over a decade and 70% by 2050. the eu will also start assigning flights and eco-label corresponding to its carbon footprint. aviation accounts for just over 2.5% of global co2 emissions. this seems one of the most challengin

shares of activision blizzard sharply lower after uk regulators blocked its deal with microsoft. ill be on "squawk box" tomorrow. you own this in the etf. >> if you own the stock, what you have to do is value the stock based on the fundamentals of the stock and that's why the company was very quick to release their earnings you see the deal spread right now as wide as $17.50. a very low probability that the deal gets done microsoft will appeal this deal. most likely they will lose that. they're still in the summer, the european union and the federal trade commission have to weigh in on their opinion of this case this is a $3 billion breakup fee for microsoft as well in regards to this. i think it falls collectively back upon activision blizzard and what the fundamentals purely look like there. >> is microsoft better off without activision blizzard, kari what do you think? >> the market seems to think so. that's part of the reason it's up >> do you? >> to be in the game producing business, which is cyclical and has all of the creative content problems that being in the entertainmen

is delivering a huge blow to microsoft. $69 billion on the game maker activision blizzard. you can see the impact in the stock. more reacting to the numbers, but activision, look how the teams are repositioning around this. it is down 11 percent. the question of the day is a straightforward one. it is big tech too big to do big deals, and is that a good thing. bloomberg intelligence, and a bloomberg executive editor for legal joining us now. i will start with you. the implications of this from a stock point of view -- then we will talk about the legal side of things. big tech is struggling to do big deals, but investors don't seem phase. is this deal not going ahead a good thing? >> i don't know if it's a good thing in the long run, but it does tell us that the regulatory environment we are living in, big tech companies, we should not be thinking about having a more active m&a, and that is the big message. what it means is whatever cash you have, you should deploy it in the form of dividends or buybacks, the biggest portion at this point. >> ok. if we are thinking about wha

loved by millions, made by activision blizzard, wanted by microsoft. to encourage more players to choose its devices and services in the years to come. this deal, though, is on life support, all because it has been judged by the cma to reduce innovation in the fast developing cloud gaming market. the theory is that cloud gaming will eventually become the kind of de facto distribution, you know, way that games are distributed to the end—user, streamed to the end user like we do when we watch netflix videos. the news has not gone down well, with activision saying in a statement that the uk was clearly closed for business. microsoft added that the cma had a flawed understanding of the market. they will now appeal. microsoft's xbox console may be lagging behind sony playstation in terms of sales but the company does have a big presence in cloud gaming. we didn't want a situation where the current dominant most powerful platform in cloud gaming purchased an important input to its competitors and therefore undermined that growth. the deal needs approval in t
