M&A & RestructuringTravel & LeisureCompany FundamentalsConsumer Demand & Retail

American Express will acquire restaurant booking platform TheFork from Tripadvisor in an all-cash deal valued at $700 million. The transaction is a positive strategic move for American Express in travel and dining services, while Tripadvisor shares rose 14% in premarket trading on the asset sale. The deal should be meaningful for the two companies involved but is unlikely to have broad market-wide impact.
