Coursera to acquire Udemy in a $2.5B all-stock deal
- Coursera is acquiring Udemy in a $2.5 billion all-stock deal.
- Udemy shareholders will receive 0.8 Coursera shares for each Udemy share.
- Coursera shares rose by 6% and Udemy shares surged by 18% following the announcement.
The merger between Coursera and Udemy could reshape the online education landscape, but it raises questions about the sustainability of their business models in a competitive market. Additionally, Warner Bros' rejection of Paramount's bid highlights the importance of financial stability in corporate mergers and acquisitions.
