Lots of mergers in my portfolio.

$GOGL (+1,45%) merging with $EURN (+0%)

$BRKL (+3,35%) merging with $BHLB (+3,76%)

$PPBI (+4,47%) merging with $COLB

$PFC merged with $WSBC (+2,97%) (sold)

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

The market took profit:

Sold 36 shares $LIGHT (-1,35%)

The market sold a non dividend paying fun stock:

Sold 5 shares $AT1 (+0,19%)

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 (+2,97%)

The market invested in European dividend stock:

Bought 35 shares $IPS (-5,64%)

- 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 ?
