The theory is "we already have a finance, S&M, admin etc" so we will dump the other one wot we just bought. That will instantly fix up the PandL and BS and the share price will simply head north because we have dumped duplicated cost sinks. Loverly Obviously, we won't bother to compare functions and functionality now 'coz ours will be the better one, 'cos its ours. Broadcom seem to be a firm of breakers, shakers and…
