What do you think of Meituan's acquisition of mobike?

On the night of April 3, 20 18, Meituan acquired mobike at a price of 2.7 billion US dollars through the shareholders' meeting in mobike, including 65% cash and 35% Meituan shares. In addition, Meituan assumed the debt of mobike (between $500 million and 10 billion), and the management team remained. This acquisition plan was confirmed that year.

As for how to treat this acquisition, we can look at it from the following aspects:

First of all, from the perspective of corporate strategy, Meituan acquired mobike to further expand its business scope and enhance its influence in the bicycle sharing market. This is also the strategy adopted by the US Mission in the face of challenges from competitors such as Didi.

Secondly, from the financial point of view, this acquisition plan is a considerable investment for Meituan. It is reported that the price of Meituan's acquisition of mobike is $2.7 billion in cash+Meituan's stock, and it also bears the debt of mobike of $6,543.80 billion. This shows Meituan's confidence in the bicycle sharing market and also reflects its financial strength in expanding its business scope.

However, this acquisition plan also has certain risks. The competition in bicycle sharing market is fierce and the market prospect is uncertain. In addition, the operating cost of bicycle sharing is also high, which may have a certain impact on the financial situation of Meituan.
