谷歌母公司Alphabet宣布以320億美元收購Wiz 加強雲端計算競爭力

(路透社)- Alphabet(納斯達克:GOOGL)在星期二宣布將以約320億美元收購Wiz,這是其最大的一筆交易,旨在加強在雲端計算領域的競爭力,以對抗亞馬遜(納斯達克:AMZN)和微軟(納斯達克:MSFT)在網絡安全領域的優勢。

這筆全現金收購是在Wiz拒絕了Alphabet去年提出的230億美元收購要約後進行的,當時Wiz對反壟斷批准的擔憂以及其專注於首次公開募股的計劃表示了顧慮。

收購Wiz將有助於谷歌強化其雲端業務,提供AI驅動的網絡安全解決方案,幫助企業消除關鍵風險,從而在受益於生成式AI服務(如ChatGPT)興起的行業中更具競爭力。

Wiz的首席執行官兼聯合創始人阿薩夫·拉帕波特表示:「雲端的重要性比以往任何時候都高,而攻擊者並未放慢腳步。他們正在利用最先進的技術來加速行動。」他曾稱讚谷歌的先前提議為「謙卑」。

儘管2024年的嚴格監管環境對大型交易造成了阻礙,但華爾街對美國總統唐納德·特朗普下的反壟斷政策轉變可能重新點燃交易活力持樂觀態度。

Wiz是增長最快的軟件初創企業之一,去年五月的融資輪中估值達到120億美元。它與包括亞馬遜雲服務、微軟的Azure及谷歌雲在內的雲服務供應商合作,客戶包括摩根士丹利、寶馬及奢侈品巨頭LVMH。

交易完成後,Wiz將加入谷歌雲業務,該業務在2024年產生了超過400億美元的收入,並在近年來超越了搜索業務的增長。

Wiz的產品將繼續在所有其他主要雲服務上提供。Alphabet預計此交易將於2026年完成,需經過監管批准。

D.A. Davidson分析師吉爾·盧里亞表示,價格上漲是基於Wiz未來一年的指數增長。

「為了讓谷歌能夠與微軟Azure競爭企業客戶,它需要提供更深入的服務套件,包括安全軟件。」他說。

這並不是谷歌首次收購網絡安全公司。2022年,谷歌以54億美元收購了Mandiant,在一場高風險的競爭中擊敗了微軟。

自去年全球CrowdStrike(納斯達克:CRWD)故障導致各行業運營受損以來,對網絡安全行業的興趣不斷上升,促使企業增加對保護其網上領域的支出。

截至12月31日,谷歌擁有234.7億美元的現金及現金等價物,這意味著它可能需要尋求資金來完成這筆交易。

該公司已為2025年預留750億美元的資本支出,主要用於AI投資,並表示其資本分配計劃保持不變。

在市場整體疲弱的情況下,谷歌的股票在早盤交易中下跌近3%。去年股價上漲約35%,但今年因投資者擔心其在中國低成本DeepSeek背景下的高額AI支出而下跌了13%。

這筆交易不僅顯示了谷歌在競爭日益激烈的雲端市場中的決心,也強調了網絡安全在當前數位環境中的重要性。隨著企業越來越依賴雲端服務,強化安全防護顯得尤為關鍵。這一收購可能會改變市場格局,使谷歌在未來的雲端戰爭中佔得先機。
