On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) shares are lower after it agreed to buy JDE Peet’s NV for €15.7 billion to bolster its struggling coffee business. The company will pay €31.85 a share in cash for the Dutch firm, a 20% premium over its closing price on Aug. 22, according to a statement. Keurig Dr Pepper plans to separate its coffee and beverage units into two independent, US-listed companies once the deal is completed, with Chief Executive Officer Tim Cofer saying “We are seizing an exceptional opportunity to create a global coffee giant.”

The investment is funded by grants from the US Chips and Science Act and Secure Enclave program, and the government will be a passive owner with no board seat or governance rights.
