Lots of mergers in my portfolio.

$GOGL merging with $EURN (+1.25%)

$BRKL merging with $BHLB (+4.27%)

$PPBI merging with $COLB

$PFC merged with $WSBC (+4.56%) (sold)

Why are companies in my portfolio merging one after another i wonder.

The market took profit:

Sold 36 shares $LIGHT (+0.96%)

The market sold a non dividend paying fun stock:

Sold 5 shares $AT1 (-0.49%)

The market reduced risk and exposure to the USA and a certain "big beautiful bill" containing a very mean and evil section 899 that targets foreign investors to make them pay more tax on dividends:

Sold 28 shares $WSBC (+4.56%)

The market invested in European dividend stock:

Bought 35 shares $IPS (+0.51%)

- With overall consensus ranging from hold to strong buy

- DCF valuation upside 45.7%

- Relative valuation upside 53.9%

- Peter Lynch fair value upside 97%

- Safe growing dividend yield of 4.2%

- Etc

Comments welcome.

What did the market do today in your corner ?
