LSEG is in discussions to acquire credit intelligence provider Octus for $3.5bn, continuing its strategy of expanding data and workflow capabilities. In media, Netflix secured exclusive rights to the 2030 World Cup in Spain and Andorra, a significant long-term asset for its content portfolio. These deals reflect ongoing consolidation and strategic positioning in their respective sectors. Edison International shares are spiking lower following a short report from Muddy Waters Research alleging significant fire liability risks. This development introduces specific idiosyncratic risk to the utility sector, highlighting the vulnerability of infrastructure assets to environmental and regulatory scrutiny. The selloff reflects investor concern over potential future liabilities and insurance costs.
