Today’s WSJ online breaks news that Disney is in talks to acquire Pixar Walt Disney… . Of the more fascinating outcomes, Jobs would become the largest shareholder in Disney:
In the deal under discussion, Disney would pay a nominal premium to Pixar’s current market value of $6.7 billion in a stock transaction that would make Pixar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs the largest individual shareholder in Disney, according to people familiar with the situation.
If this goes through, and that’s uncertain, it bodes well for the marriage of tech gizmos and content.
