Disney and Apple — two of the largest companies on Earth — could be planning a merger, according to analysts.
“Recently, investors have increased their expectations that Apple could seriously consider acquiring Disney,” RBC analysts wrote in a note to investors.
If a deal does come through, Apple would also acquire Disney’s other recent purchases, including both LucasFilm and Marvel Studios.
There have been discussions surrounding an Apple-Disney merger for years, mainly spurred on after Disney CEO Bob Iger became an Apple board member in 2011.
