美國逼Keysight出售資產 才准買英國Spirent




美國政府要求Keysight出售Spirent三項業務以解決反壟斷問題

美國司法部於華盛頓聯邦法院提交文件,要求Keysight Technologies在收購英國Spirent Communications前,必須剝離Spirent旗下三項業務,以解決反壟斷疑慮。該收購案原先估值約為15億美元。

根據司法部的說法,需剝離的業務包括Spirent的高速乙太網測試、網絡安全測試及無線頻率通道仿真業務。Keysight早在今年3月曾表示,計劃將這些業務出售予Viavi Solutions(前稱JDS Uniphase),交易金額最高達4.25億美元現金。

司法部指出,Keysight和Spirent合佔高速乙太網測試市場85%、網絡安全測試市場超過60%,以及無線頻率通道仿真市場超過50%。若未剝離相關業務,合併可能大幅減少市場競爭,損害消費者利益。

Keysight和Spirent尚未對此置評。

Keysight總部位於加州聖羅莎,於2024年3月同意以11.6億英鎊(約合15.7億美元)收購英國Crawley的Spirent。Viavi原本亦有意收購Spirent,但最終被Keysight出價超越。

評論與分析

這宗收購案反映出美國監管機構對於科技產業集中度過高的高度警覺。Keysight和Spirent在多個關鍵測試領域佔據主導地位,若兩者合併後不剝離部分業務,恐將形成壟斷,削弱市場競爭,進而阻礙創新和提高成本,最終損害下游企業和消費者。

另一方面,這種強制剝離也說明了監管機構在平衡企業擴張與市場公平間的努力。對Keysight而言,剝離部分優質資產或許會影響其整體戰略布局,但這同時為Viavi等競爭者提供了機會,保持市場多元和活力。

從更宏觀角度看,科技測試設備的市場競爭格局,直接影響到5G、物聯網及未來通訊技術的發展速度。監管部門的介入,反映了他們對於關鍵基礎設施技術供應鏈安全與穩定的重視。

總結來說,這起案例不僅是企業併購的法律審查,更是全球科技產業競爭格局與監管政策調整的縮影。香港及本地市場的相關企業和投資者,亦應密切關注此類跨國併購背後的監管動態,從中尋找風險管理與投資機遇。

Add lotso and hamm Create a photorealistic image of uploaded photo sitting at a relaxed outdoor restaurant in London on a cool Wednesday morning in March 2026. The sky is clear, the spring air is crisp, and the city feels calm as it wakes up. She is the focal point of the shot—wearing a light scarf, gently stirring her tea while gazing off to the side with a thoughtful expression. Everything behind her, from the waiter moving about to the soft morning traffic, should fall into a smooth blur, giving the picture the effortless, candid atmosphere of a moment casually snapped on a phone. A close-up of a young man (as in the uploaded image) Dominates the right side of the frame, viewed from a low-angle perspective, giving him a powerful and imposing presence. He is wearing a simple white tank top (muscle shirt) and tan or light-yellow cargo shorts. He is holding a wooden baseball bat slung over his right shoulder. His expression is serious and determined.

JustinE the Rottweiler: Located on the left, chained to man. JustinE is in an aggressive stance, mouth wide open in a fierce snarl or bark, showing his teeth and tongue, with saliva visible. He is wearing a thick, heavy silver chain leash and collar, with a small circular dog tag visible that says "JustinE". The dog is large and muscular, facing the viewer.

Leash: A heavy-gauge silver metal chain connects JustinE's collar to man's hand.

Lighting: Strong, harsh daylight typical of Southern California, creating deep shadows and high contrast, enhancing the dramatic feel.

Background/Setting: A Southern San Andreas (Los Santos) street setting. The background is slightly blurred but suggests a hot, dry, urban environment with power lines/telegraph wires and a glimpse of an older vehicle (possibly a green van) in the lower-left corner. The sky is a bright, clear, light yellow-green color, indicative of a hot day.

hard shadows, and a distinct color palette typical of GTA loading screens and cover.
