Investing.com -- Eldorado Gold Corporation (NYSE:EGO) stock fell 8.2% Monday after the company announced it would acquire Foran Mining Corporation (TSX:FOM) in a deal valued at approximately C$3.8 billion.

The transaction, which will create a combined gold-copper mining company, involves Foran shareholders receiving 0.1128 Eldorado shares and $0.01 in cash for each Foran share held. This represents no premium to Foran’s closing price on January 30 following a recent increase in Foran’s share price.

Upon completion, existing Eldorado and Foran shareholders will own approximately 76% and 24% of the combined company, respectively. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

The combined entity aims to benefit from two fully financed development projects – Skouries in Greece and McIlvenna Bay in Saskatchewan, Canada – both scheduled to achieve commercial production by mid-2026. According to the companies, the merged operation is projected to produce approximately 900,000 gold equivalent ounces in 2027.

Eldorado CEO George Burns emphasized the strategic benefits of the acquisition, noting it creates "a stronger gold and copper growth company, defined by near-term cash flow generation and multiple catalysts."

The transaction diversifies Eldorado’s portfolio with balanced exposure across gold (77%), copper (15%), and other metals (8%) in Canada, Greece, and Türkiye. The combined company expects to generate approximately $2.1 billion in EBITDA and $1.5 billion in free cash flow in 2027.

Dan Myerson, Foran’s Executive Chair and CEO, will join Eldorado’s Board of Directors following the completion of the transaction. The combined business will remain headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Investing.com -- Peakstone Realty Trust (NYSE:PKST) stock surged 33% Monday after announcing it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by a Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE:BAM) private real estate fund for $21.00 per share in cash.

The all-cash transaction values the industrial real estate investment trust at approximately $1.2 billion in enterprise value and represents a 34% premium to Peakstone’s closing price on January 30, 2026. The deal also offers a 46% premium to the company’s 30-day volume weighted average price and a 51% premium to its 90-day VWAP.

The acquisition comes shortly after Peakstone completed its strategic transformation into an industrial-only REIT in December 2025 by divesting all of its office properties. The company’s current portfolio consists of 76 industrial properties, including 60 industrial outdoor storage properties and 16 traditional industrial properties.

"We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Brookfield, which will deliver significant value to Peakstone shareholders," said Michael Escalante, Chief Executive Officer of Peakstone. "Following an offer from Brookfield, our Board of Trustees evaluated the proposed transaction with the assistance of external advisors and determined that it achieves the best value and other terms reasonably available for shareholders and is in the best interests of the Company."

The transaction, unanimously approved by Peakstone’s Board, includes a 30-day "go-shop" period expiring on March 4, 2026, during which the company may solicit alternative acquisition proposals. Peakstone has agreed to suspend its regular quarterly dividend until the deal closes or the agreement terminates.

The acquisition is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions. Upon completion, Peakstone will become a privately-held company and its shares will no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

The acquisition aims to address what Beyond describes as a fragmented market for financial services by creating a one-stop solution for real estate and other real-world asset finance that bridges tokenized and traditional investing. The platform will be integrated with the company’s existing financial technology, insurance, and blockchain-based businesses.

Beyond, which owns Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, buybuy BABY, and a blockchain asset portfolio, will leverage its experience in tokenized assets as an early blockchain technology investor. The company maintains strategic investments in digital asset businesses including tZERO and GrainChain through its Medici portfolio.

The new platform is designed to give customers a consolidated view of their assets and interests, including ownership structure, estimated values, existing obligations, and liquidity options. It will support tokenization of qualifying securities and real-world assets, alongside asset-backed financing solutions for home purchases, refinancing, and home equity.

"Providing responsible, compliant liquidity pathways for homeowners and real-world asset holders is our strategy and long-term vision," said Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman and CEO of Beyond Inc.

The platform will utilize tZERO’s infrastructure for capital markets, tokenization, custody, and trading. It will also partner with Figure Technologies and Figure Markets to provide mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and other asset-backed lending solutions.

Beyond expects the Tokens.com platform to become operational by July 1, 2026, subject to closing and customary conditions.
