United Technologies Corp. is nearing a deal to buy Rockwell
Collins Inc. for more than $20 billion, a tie-up that would create
one of the world's biggest aircraft-equipment makers.
The companies are discussing a per-share price for Rockwell of
$140 or less and could come to an agreement as soon as this
weekend, according to people familiar with the situation. Rockwell
shares closed at $127.99 Monday, giving the company a market value
of $20.8 billion.
As with all acquisition talks, it is possible they could hit a
snag and not result in a deal, or the expected price could
change.
