    RXO is up 20.7% pre-market after announcing a definitive $5.8 billion cash-and-stock acquisition by C.H. Robinson. A control-premium transaction with $300 million of expected synergies is substantial enough to explain the move, while the prior earnings update is secondary.

    WHYA definitive $5.8 billion acquisition with quantified synergies is material news, and a 20.7% move is broadly proportionate to a takeover repricing.
