Could the rising dollar possibly derail Inbev's pending purchase of Anheuser-Busch?

Question

I've heard one of the reasons they were able to pull this off is the lower dollar exchange rates we have experienced lately. It also seems like they are leveraging themselves pretty heavily to pull this deal off. So, given that it will take a while for this deal to clear regulatory approvals, could the continued rise of the dollar add this to the pile of failed mergers we have witnessed over the last year or two?

Answer 1

Its a great possibility. But if they can think they can still make money they may still go through with it.
