European Union judges could review Broadcom Inc.'s $69 billion acquisition of cloud computing firm VMware, following an antitrust complaint filed by CISPE, a European cloud industry association. This development was reported on July 24, 2025.
CISPE's complaint opposes the bloc's prior approval of one of the largest takeovers in the technology industry. This legal challenge introduces a potential regulatory hurdle for Broadcom's integration of VMware, which was a cornerstone of its strategy to expand into infrastructure software.
The review by EU judges could lead to delays or modifications in the terms of the acquisition, impacting Broadcom's plans for its infrastructure software segment. The outcome of this challenge will be closely watched by investors and the technology industry.
