The U.S. Department of Justice has reached a settlement with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) regarding its $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks. The settlement resolves the DOJ's antitrust lawsuit just days before a trial was set to begin, allowing the merger to proceed. As part of the agreement, HPE must divest its Instant On WiFi business, which targets small firms, and Juniper Networks is required to license the source code for its Mist AI software.

The deal will combine HPE's Aruba networking division with Juniper to create a stronger AI-native networking competitor. Following the settlement announcement, shares of HPE and Juniper surged, with HPE rising approximately 12% and Juniper about 8% in premarket trading. Both companies are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the tickers HPE and JNPR, respectively.
