Quote from 1andrew1:


Yes, there's probably a trend but two acquisitions of large UK companies close to one another is another trend too. Time will tell.
The ARM Holdings deal was announced just a month after the Brexit vote. That deal would have been in negotiation many months before the referendom was even mooted so to link it to the Brexit vote and the subsequent drop on the value of Sterling is fanciful at best.

The company, being a holdings, is actually a multinational conglomerate. Only the HQ is in the UK.

The company was owned by Softbank Group a Japanese based company so sale to another Japanese company wouldn't be that unusual. So not even a UK company but hey let's not let facts spoil your assertion.
