In one of the more interesting transactions in the information space of late, Colorado-based IHS (NYSE:IHS) and London-based Markit (NASDAQ:MRKT) announced their intent to merge yesterday. Based upon March 18, 2016 closing prices, the transaction values IHS and Markit at about $7.5bn and $5.2bn in equity value (or $10.4bn and $5.9bn in enterprise value), respectively. Upon completion of the merger, the combined company will be renamed IHS Markit. We’re still trying to figure out what it all means.
