- Publicis Groupe (PUB FP) agreed to buy online data broker LiveRamp Holdings (RAMP) for about $2.5 billion in cash, a sign of the French media firm’s continued investment in marketing technology as the advertising industry contracts.
- Baidu (BIDU) posted a better-than-feared 1% drop in revenue after growth in nascent AI businesses offset a steady decline in traditional internet revenue, buying the search leader time to catch rivals such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. in the post-ChatGPT era.
