This sounds super dumb - but given their acquisition was blocked, would Nvidia be stopped from simply buying the majority of shares at IPO?
To be clear I'm not suggesting this will happen or not, I'm just curious if it would be allowed?

- hollerith 5y agoMost very big mergers consist of one company buying all the shares of a publically-traded company, so it is likely that the regulators have the power to stop those kinds of mergers though I cannot think of an example.
