(Reuters) -NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange is in talks to buy Enverus in a deal that would value the energy data and analytics specialist firm at $6 billion, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
A final agreement has not been reached and discussions could still end without a deal, the report added.
Mergers and acquisitions activity is expected to gain momentum in the second half of the year, driven by a softer U.S. stance on trade and expectations of lower interest rates, which are bolstering executive sentiment.
ICE and Enverus did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
