@HubStor Do you guys have an official announcement on your acquisition by Veritas?

[brenon @brenondaly]

Wary shoppers will but necessities but rarely splurge on niceties. The difference shows up in @SPGMarketIntel data:
10 stocks in Discretionary Index are down >50% vs 0 stocks in Staples Index.

M&A is a discretionary purchase. Yet, as the current pandemic has made painfully clear, these nonessential transactions are the first to get nixed. Whether it's a shiny new car or a shiny new startup, wary shoppers aren't splurging on such niceties.

#Tech M&A spending in April plunged 90% vs. typical month. @451TechMnA shows how bad it was:
*There were 24 individual transactions in 2019 that exceeded the total amount that acquirers spent on all tech deals for the entire month of April.

Just how bad is it in the #tech M&A market right now? Per @451TechMnA spending on deals in April is tracking to just *1/10th* typical monthly spend.
