Business
— Nov 4, 2026

The airline is in a bid war between Apollo’s £5.7 billion takeover deal and Castlelake’s rival offer, while management warned that FY26 outcomes depend on volatile fuel prices and remaining bookings.

Apollo Eyes $20 Billion J&J Orthopedics Unit
Apollo Global Management
— Sep 11, 2026
Apollo Global Management is poised to acquire Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Synthes orthopedics unit for about $20 billion, a deal that would value the asset at roughly two times its sales as J&J considers a tax-free spin-off or other paths to sharpen focus on higher-growth healthcare areas. DePuy Synthes generated about $9.3 billion in 2025 revenue but trails faster-growing segments and carries thousands of hip-implant lawsuits that would influence buyer pricing.
