McCormick, Unilever Foods to Forge Global Flavor Leader in $20B Merger

McCormick is merging with Unilever's Foods business to form a global flavor leader with about $20B in 2025 revenue and an enterprise value near $44.8B. Post-close, Unilever shareholders would own roughly 55% of the combined company, McCormick about 35%, and Unilever around 9.9%, with Unilever receiving a $15.7B cash component. The deal is expected to generate about $600M in run-rate cost synergies (roughly $100M reinvested for growth), lift margins to ~23–25% by year 3, and reduce net leverage to 3.0x within two years, with closing targeted by mid-2027 and leadership split (McCormick leading the company, Unilever executives on the board); plans include a European secondary listing and maintained dividends, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.

Pennsylvania Senate Race Faces Legal Battles Over Ballot Disputes Ahead of Recount

The Pennsylvania Senate race between Republican David McCormick and incumbent Democrat Bob Casey has escalated into a legal battle over the counting of undated or misdated ballots. McCormick, supported by the Republican National Committee, is appealing a decision to count over 600 such ballots, arguing it violates state election laws. The dispute has led to a state-mandated recount, with McCormick currently leading by fewer than 27,000 votes. The controversy has sparked broader debates on election integrity and the validity of undated ballots, with high-profile figures like Elon Musk weighing in.
