FedEx joins Advent in $9.2 billion InPost buyout to take parcel locker group private

FedEx joins Advent in $9.2 billion InPost buyout to take parcel locker group private

Advent International and FedEx are heading up a consortium that’s struck a deal to buy InPost for €15.60 per share in cash. That puts the parcel locker company’s value around €7.8 billion. InPost, which operates upwards of 61,000 automated lockers and has more than 33,000 pickup and dropoff locations scattered across nine European countries, will keep CEO Rafał Brzoska at the helm. FedEx is moving into “out-of-home delivery” — that’s parcels bound for lockers and pickup points, not home addresses — as logistics players keep hunting for cheaper last-mile options across Europe. The company said InPost will stay a standalone, “independent competitor” after the deal closes, with plans for arm’s-length commercial agreements that connect FedEx’s network to InPost’s lockers and B2C services.

Shopify stock drops again as ChatGPT checkout fees fuel fresh Wall Street split

Shopify stock drops again as ChatGPT checkout fees fuel fresh Wall Street split

Shopify shares dropped again Wednesday, marking a second straight day of declines as investors digested conflicting analyst opinions on the Canadian e-commerce firm’s move into “agentic commerce” — AI agents that handle searching, selecting, and purchasing products for customers. The selloff hits Shopify as it pushes its checkout and payments tools into emerging shopping channels, where buyers might skip merchant websites entirely. If AI assistants turn into the new storefronts, Shopify aims to remain the back-end engine that still takes a cut.
