Soho China Plunges After Blackstone Scraps $3 Billion Offer

Soho China's stock plunged 40% after a failed takeover by Blackstone, attributed to insufficient demand and regulatory issues. This marks the second failed attempt to sell the company, which has been on the market since 2020. With limited options due to market conditions and declining profits, Soho China is under pressure. The company seeks to sell due to growth bottlenecks and the founders' desire to cash out, but Blackstone was the only official offer, which also fell through.
