Interesting to see DOJ try to block BV merger. Not sure if that implies that BV is worth more than the market is acknowledging or they are simply upset with the manner in which BV moved forward with the combination. Slap their wrists (or make them cut them) for not consulting the powers that be..... US District Judge William H. Orrick ruled that the US Justice Department could challenge the $168 million acquisition of PowerReviews Inc by its competitor Bazaarvoice Inc, Bloomberg reported. Both companies are online product review software makers. According to the regulator, the deal entered by both firms in 2012 would thwart competition in the product ratings and review software market and subsequently lead to more expensive prices for retailers and manufacturers that utilize the product. Some of the customers of Bazaarvoice are Best Buy Co, Costco Wholesale Corp and Crate & Barrel, the report said.
