what happens to atvi stock after merger
ATVI no longer trades as a normal public stock after the Microsoft merger closed. Shareholders were paid out $95 per share in cash , and Activision Blizzard’s shares were halted and then delisted from Nasdaq after the deal closed in October 2023.
What that means
- If you held ATVI before the merger closed, your shares were converted into the merger consideration, not kept as ATVI stock.
- After closing, there is no ongoing ATVI stock to buy or sell on the public market.
- If you were looking at old price charts, they stop because the ticker was removed from trading.
Quick scoop
The short version: ATVI got bought out, paid in cash, and disappeared from the exchange.
Important note
If you still see ATVI mentioned online, it’s usually in old articles, archived charts, or merger-arbitrage discussions from before the deal closed.
If you want, I can also explain what happened to ATVI shareholders if they held shares through the closing date or what this means for taxes and brokerage accounts.
