Axel Springer to Acquire Telegraph Media Group for £575m, Expanding US Reach

European publisher Axel Springer agreed to buy Telegraph Media Group for £575m, beating the £500m bid from DMGT. The deal follows a government probe into the DMGT bid and will expand the Telegraph’s footprint, including in the United States, with Springer pledging to invest in growth. Telegraph Media Group (owner of the Daily Telegraph and related outlets) has been ownerless since 2023 due to debts tied to the Barclay brothers; previous approaches by RedBird Capital and others collapsed amid regulatory scrutiny. The deal now awaits regulatory clearance and marks Springer's largest acquisition since buying Politico in 2021.

Mixue Lands in the U.S. as the World's Largest Fast-Food Chain Pushes Ultra-Cheap Treats

The Herald Square store drew long lines and a red-carpet welcome, with many items sold out; prices under $4 and a 15% discount via rewards. Mixue's IPO in Hong Kong earlier this year kicked off rapid expansion, challenging local players like Gong Cha and McDonald's in price and scale, while competitors Luckin Coffee and Chagee also expand in the U.S.

Shein, the fast fashion retailer popular among Generation Z and millennial shoppers, is facing demands from 16 state attorneys general to prove it does not use forced labor as it plans to file for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States.
