西部中游运营公司（Western Midstream Operating, LP.，股票代码：WES）今日盘中股价大跌5.03%，引发市场广泛关注。这一下跌似乎与该公司最新宣布的收购计划有关。
据悉，西部中游运营公司同意以约15亿美元的现金和股票形式收购Aris Water Solutions。根据交易条款，Aris股东每持有1股Aris股票，可获得0.625股西部中游普通股或25美元现金，这一价格较Aris周二收盘价高出23%。西部中游表示，现金选择权可能会根据比例进行调整，最高现金支付额为4.15亿美元。
尽管此次收购旨在将西部中游的业务拓展至二叠纪盆地蓬勃发展的水处理领域，但投资者似乎对这笔交易持谨慎态度。市场可能担心收购价格过高，或者对交易的战略意义和潜在协同效应存有疑虑。此外，预计在2025年第四季度完成的这笔交易可能会对公司的短期财务状况产生影响，这也可能是导致股价下跌的原因之一。
