Mars’ $36 billion Kellanova deal may lead to price hikes, EU regulators warn By Foo Yun Chee and Benoit Van Overstraeten BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Candy maker Mars’ takeover of Pringles maker Kellanova (NYSE:K) could lead to price hikes because it will boost Mars’ negotiating power with retailers, EU antitrust regulators warned on Wednesday as they opened a full-scale investigation into the $36 billion deal. The move could force Mars to divest assets to address the EU competition concerns or risk the deal being blocked. Mars said it was disappointed with the EU’s decision but it remained optimistic over the outcome of the transaction, which it hoped to close towards the end of 2025. "We remain confident the pending combination of Mars Snacking and Kellanova’s complementary footprints and portfolios will deliver more choice and innovation to consumers," said Mars in a statement. "Based on the current status of the ongoing antitrust review by the European Commission, we now expect the transaction to close towards the end of 2025; however, the exact timing cannot be predicted with any certainty at this point. We look forward to delivering the benefits of the pending transaction to all Mars and Kellanova stakeholders," it added. Mars announced the deal last August, among the biggest in the sector, that would bring brands from M&Ms, Snickers and Whiskas to Pringles, Pop-Tarts and Kellogg cereals under one roof. The EU competition enforcer said the deal would boost Mars’ product portfolio, giving it increased leverage to extract higher prices during negotiations with retailers and in turn would lead to higher prices for consumers. It said both companies have a strong market position in several product markets in multiple EU countries due to their brands seen as must-have for consumers. The Commission also cited concerns from some European retailers about Mars’ increased bargaining power and that they may be forced to accept higher prices, in order to avoid not being able to offer the products of Mars and Kellanova. "As inflation-hit food prices remain high across Europe, it is essential to ensure that this acquisition does not further drive up the cost of shopping baskets," EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera said in a statement. The Commission set an Oct. 31 deadline for its decision. European retailers have voiced worries about the power of large international suppliers of branded packaged goods and the high concentration levels in products such as breakfast cereals, carbonated drinks, confectionery and frozen desserts.

REUTERS/Yves Herman (Reuters) - The EU is prepared to deploy its most powerful trade measures and may impose levies on U.S. digital companies if negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump fail to end his tariff war against Europe, EU President Ursula von der Leyen told the Financial Times on Thursday. The EU would seek a "completely balanced" agreement with Washington during Trump’s 90-day pause in applying additional tariffs, the report added. Which stock should you buy in your very next trade?
