On Tuesday, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said big tech's merger and acquisition activity is ramping up again, following years of regulatory pressure under former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan.
What Happened: "In our view with Lina Khan gone at the FTC, the M&amp;A engines are back underway in Big Tech after a dark period for tech M&amp;A," Ives wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"Google kicks off the M&amp;A cycle today with the Wiz deal, which is important for cybersecurity and just the start of a massive consolidation period."

This landmark deal, aimed at strengthening Google&#8217;s cloud business amid intense competition, marks the company&#8217;s largest acquisition to date and stands as the biggest transaction of 2025 so far.
That same day, Wired <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/federal-trade-commission-removed-blogs-critical-of-ai-amazon-microsoft/">reported</a> that the FTC had removed more than 300 blog posts written during Khan's tenure, including several critical of tech giants like Amazon.com, Inc.

Why It's Important: The shift in the FTC&#8217;s stance comes amid significant changes in its leadership and approach to tech regulation. President Donald Trump appointed Andrew Ferguson as the new FTC chair in a potential shift toward a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42428224/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-mirror-stock-declines-ahead-of-crucial-inflation-data-release-top-analyst-says-buy-the-dip-predicts-275k-btc-target">less aggressive stance</a> on antitrust enforcement.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the FTC&#8217;s latest actions, such as the ban on General Motors from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43051842/ftc-bans-general-motors-from-sharing-driver-data-following-allegations-that-it-sold-sensitive-consumer-information">sharing driver data</a> and the lawsuit against PepsiCo for <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/01/43063862/whats-going-on-with-pepsico-stock-today">alleged price discrimination</a>, highlight the agency&#8217;s ongoing focus on data privacy and fair competition.

Dan Ives Says Big Tech M&A Is Back 'After A Dark Period' As FTC Wipes Over 300 Lina Khan-Era Blog Posts Criticizing Amazon, Microsoft, And Others

NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have safely returned to Earth after an unexpectedly prolonged mission on the International Space Station (ISS).
The astronauts traveled back in a SpaceX capsule, concluding a mission that was initially scheduled for just over a week but extended to nine months due to complications with their original Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) Starliner spacecraft.
What Happened: Wilmore and Williams, part of NASA&#8217;s Crew-9 rotation, undocked from the ISS at 1:05 a.m. ET and completed a 17-hour journey back to Earth, splashing down safely off Florida&#8217;s Gulf Coast at 5:57 p.m. ET.
Their mission was marked by technical challenges and became a political spectacle, drawing attention from U.S. President Donald Trump, who called for their expedited return.
NASA&#8217;s decision to return Wilmore and Williams on a SpaceX craft was influenced by Trump&#8217;s request, according to NASA&#8217;s ISS chief Joel Montalbano.

The astronauts will undergo health checks at NASA&#8217;s Johnson Space Center before reuniting with their families. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk supported the earlier return, criticizing the Biden administration&#8217;s handling of the situation.
Wilmore and Williams spent 286 days in space, contributing to 150 science experiments. Williams, on her third spaceflight, has now accumulated 608 days in space, the second most for any U.S. astronaut.
Boeing&#8217;s Starliner may require further uncrewed tests before carrying astronauts regularly, as stated by NASA&#8217;s Commercial Crew Program chief Steve Stich.
Why It Matters: The return of Wilmore and Williams comes after several delays, including a postponed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44296357/spacex-crew-10-astronaut-launch-to-bring-back-stuck-astronauts-delayed-due-to-hydraulics-issue-says-nasa">SpaceX Crew-10 mission</a> due to a hydraulics issue.
This delay was one of the factors prolonging the astronauts&#8217; stay on the ISS. Despite the political undertones suggested by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44161444/starliner-astronaut-butch-wilmore-denies-involvement-of-politics-in-delay-in-returning-home-from-space-refuting-spacex-ceo-elon-musk">Elon Musk</a>, Wilmore emphasized that politics did not play a role in the delay, highlighting the unpredictable nature of human spaceflight.

Amid the ongoing opioid crisis, Purdue Pharma has proposed a new bankruptcy plan. The pharmaceutical giant is offering a settlement of at least $7.4 billion to address its role in the crisis.
What Happened: On Tuesday, the OxyContin maker submitted a revised bankruptcy plan, offering a settlement of at least $7.4 billion for the opioid crisis. This decision follows the U.S. Supreme Court&#8217;s rejection of Purdue&#8217;s previous attempt to resolve the lawsuits through a bankruptcy settlement last year.
The new plan provides fresh details on how the settlement will be distributed among states, local governments, and individuals affected by the opioid crisis. The company intends to begin collecting votes and opt-in decisions from its creditors in May, with the plan to be presented to a U.S. bankruptcy judge for final approval upon completion.
Purdue will contribute $900 million from its funds and implement several non-monetary measures, including transitioning into a public benefit company focused on developing medications for opioid use disorder treatment and overdose reversal. 
Under the revised plan, creditors can choose to participate in the settlement to receive payment. Individuals who choose not to participate in the settlement can pursue legal action against the Sacklers, the company&#8217;s owners, who have stated they will strongly contest the case in court.
The revised plan also allocates approximately $850 million to support individuals affected by the opioid crisis, including those who developed addiction after being prescribed OxyContin and infants born with withdrawal symptoms due to prenatal opioid exposure.

Why It Matters: The opioid crisis, fueled by Purdue Pharma&#8217;s aggressive marketing of OxyContin in the 1990s, has claimed at least 106,000 lives in the U.S. Inappropriate prescribing of opioids was cited as one of the major causes of U.S. overdoses, according to the office of Dept. of Health and Human Services. This settlement, if approved, will conclude the most expensive corporate bankruptcy tied to the opioid epidemic.
The Sackler family and Purdue Pharma previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43177108/purdue-pharma-sackler-family-to-pay-74-billion-in-settlement-over-oxycontin-that-fueled-devastating-opioid-epidemic">agreed to pay $7.4 billion</a> to resolve nationwide opioid litigation, marking a major milestone in efforts to hold the makers of the addictive pain medication OxyContin accountable for their role in the opioid crisis. &#8220;This story is about a family of cruel billionaires who believed they were above the law,&#8221; said Connecticut Attorney General William Tong in a press release.

Williams-Sonoma, HealthEquity And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers has said that the central bank is facing &#8220;the most difficult challenge&#8221; amid higher prices and fewer jobs. This comes as the Federal Reserve is slated to announce its decision on interest rates by Wednesday afternoon.
What Happened: Larry Summers expects the apex bank&#8217;s monetary policy-setting body, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC), to hold the rates constant on Wednesday in line with market expectations.
CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool </a>indicates a near-certainty of unchanged interest rates in March at 99%, with expectations shifting to significant rate cuts beginning in July with a 60%+ probability and increasing to nearly 90% in September. 
Holding tariffs responsible for this challenging situation, he said, &#8220;This is what tariffs do.&#8221;
&#8220;If you are the Federal Reserve, you can't figure out if you go to the breaks because of price increases or the accelerator because of lost jobs. So I suspect the Fed won't move interest rates. They will say they need more data and they are watching,&#8221; said Summers in an X thread.
He describes this scenario as a &#8220;stagflationary shock,&#8221; which has put the Fed in a &#8220;hard position&#8221;.

Analysts Expect Jerome Powell To Pivot To A Measured Stance Amid Economic Uncertainty </a>
Why It Matters: With inflation near 2% and growing economic uncertainty, analysts believe Jerome Powell might pivot to a more measured approach.
"The hawkish tone of Fed Chair Jerome Powell may likely change into a more measured one as he has to cite the economic uncertainty — especially tariff uncertainty,&#8221; said Eugenia Mykuliak, the founder and executive director at B2PRIME Group
The &#8220;Trump put&#8221; referring to adjusting President Donald Trump-led administration&#8217;s policies to support markets was off the table, the &#8220;Fed put&#8221; remained on standby. "The Trump Put may be kaput, but the Fed Put remains on standby," said Edward Yardeni, the President of Yardeni Research.
Earlier this month, while speaking at the University of Chicago <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44213521/us-economic-slowdown-talk-of-the-town-says-economist-mohamed-el-erian-as-fed-chair-powell-reaffirms-growth-at-sol">Powell signaled</a> the Fed will maintain current rates amid a strong labor market and near-target inflation, emphasizing no rush to adjust rates.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the future of Dow Jones rose by 0.13%, whereas the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 advanced by 0.19% and 0.26% respectively.
