Activision: The analysts still see a way ahead for Microsoft's acquisition of Activision.

Last week, the companies asked a federal judge to hold at least a five-day hearing on the Federal Trade Commission's request for a preliminary injunction to block the $69B videogame deal.

The analysts said they have been positively surprised by Microsoft's level of commitment to getting a deal done, and it appears that challenges in the U.S. and the U.K. are nearing some form of a resolution in the near-term.

However, the broader market is not so enthusiastic, and the analysts calculate implied deal probabilities at not over 20% across the curve based on current scenarios. The firm sees this as providing investors with an enticing risk/reward trade-off, which drives its Overweight rating.

Unprompted, Microsoft PR sends this: "Unlike Sony, our most senior executives will testify in person to answer any questions about our business strategy. This deal means more choice for gamers, a fact that only becomes clearer the more you look at the case."

Witness list for the preliminary injunction hearings for FTC vs Microsoft / Activision is a who's who of gaming: Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Phil Spencer, Activision's Bobby Kotick, Bethesda's Pete Hines, PlayStation's Jim Ryan, Nvidia and Nintendo execs, and more
— Stephen Totilo (@stephentotilo) June 20, 2023

Pete Hines is also a witness along with some Nintendo execs.

Fuck this is going to be good.

FTC makes clear that one of the things it wants to ask these folks about is the Xbox-Bethesda deal (only FTC i calling Hines, for example), as they've maintained that Microsoft's approach with Bethesda is what's going to happen with all Activision Blizzard games.
— Stephen Totilo (@stephentotilo) June 20, 2023

Looks like FTC is going to try to bait Pete Hines, Lmao.

MICROSOFT LIED!!!
