One of the last remaining clashes involving Twenty-First Century Fox (NASDAQ:FOXA) (NASDAQ:FOX) and Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) was decided this weekend. Regulators in the United Kingdom presided over a rare auction to decide the fate of European cable operator Sky PLC (NASDAQOTH:SKYAY).
Comcast submitted a winning bid of 17.28 British pounds per share, or about $22.74 at current exchange rates, to acquire the available 61% of European cable operator Sky PLC (NASDAQOTH:SKYAY). This topped the 15.67 pounds per share, or roughly $20.62, offered by Fox and its soon-to-be corporate owner, Disney (NYSE:DIS). Fox already owns the other 39% and was hoping to gain control of the remainder.
The winning bid was valued at about $38.8 billion, leading some to speculate that Comcast paid far too much for the company.

Top Value Stocks To Buy Right Now: Werner Enterprises, Inc.(WERN)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By ]
Werner Enterprises (Nasdaq: WERN) competes in the full-truckload (FTL) segment of the industry where drivers deliver entire truck-loads between two points, rather than making many stops to consolidate partial loads as in the LTL segment. This could mean that the company has relatively more to gain from autonomous trucking since highway driving is a larger portion of total drive time.
