Zurich’s £8bn Beazley bid jolts FTSE 100 to a fresh record as GSK rallies, AI fears hit data stocks

Zurich’s £8bn Beazley bid jolts FTSE 100 to a fresh record as GSK rallies, AI fears hit data stocks

Zurich Insurance Group has struck outline terms for an about 8 billion pound cash takeover of FTSE 100 underwriter Beazley, with Beazley saying it would be minded to recommend the offer if Zurich turns it into a firm bid by Feb. 16. The talks matter now because the UK Takeover Code forces a bidder into a near-term decision: Zurich must either publish a formal offer by a set deadline or step back. For Zurich, the prize is a deeper push into specialty insurance — cover for complex risks such as cyber, marine and aviation — and a bigger footprint through Lloyd’s of London.
