Investing.com — Here is your Pro Recap of 4 head-turning deal dispatches you may have missed this week: deals at Hawaiian and Alaska Air , AbbVie and Cerevel, Carrier Global selling security unit to Honeywell, and LyondellBasell Industries selling its Ethylene Oxide & Derivatives unit to INEOS Oxide.
As Alaska Airlines (ALK) is set to buy Hawaiian Airlines (HA) for $1.9 billion, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is investigating Exxon's (XOM) planned merger with Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD). S&P Global Market Intelligence Editorial Lead Joe Mantone examines M&A activity in 2023, discussing with Yahoo Finance the conditions that could boost or hurt M&A forecasts for the new year. "Something that could help M&A in 2024 is if... [interest rates] stop rising, if they stay at an elevated rate without increasing, that can help boost M&A activity," Mantone says. "Just because buyers have a better idea of what their financing is going to cost."

Alaska Air's (ALK) fleet size will increase considerably if the deal to buy HA materializes. Upbeat air-travel demand aids Ryanair's (RYAAY) November traffic.
