NICE - Verint Merger Talks

Author: John Honovich, Published on Jan 13, 2013

Israeli and US newspapers are reporting on talks of a mega merger between NICE and Verint that would result in a multi-billion dollar defense contractor. In this note, we examine the potential impact for the combined companies in the surveillance market.

Both have sizeable surveillance divisions. However, those divisions only contribute a fraction of each companies total revenue. As such, the deal may make sense overall regardless of the impact on the surveillance side.
