Apollo's easyJet Buyout Shows Appetite for U.K. Assets -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/11/11 12:121212 GMT - Apollo's proposed takeover of U.K. budget airline easyJet shows how U.S. buyers continue to have appetite for U.K.-listed assets, Mergermarket's Lucinda Guthrie says. Shareholders in easyJet just backed Apollo's offer, paving the way for the deal. At $7.6 billion, this is the largest U.S.-to-U.K. take-private transaction announced so far in 2026 and the third-largest in the past decade, according to Mergermarket. "U.K.-listed companies offer an attractive opportunity for foreign acquirors to pick up well-run businesses, often at a discount to U.S. peers," Guthrie says. Shares in easyJet are little moved.
