A major technology company was caught taking a whiz. You're listening to Motley Full Money.

I'm Ricky Mulvey, joined today by Jason Moser. Jason, we got a big deal. Appreciate you being here.

Ricky, happy Tuesday. Thanks for having me.

So Alphabet is looking to purchase cloud security company Wiz for $32 billion, trying to follow

through on a purchase that it intended to make last summer. Jamo, last summer, Google was ready to spend $22 billion on this company.

Now it's $32.

You have to think this was an expensive, you know, it must have been painful for Google

to hold it this long.

Yeah.

I suspect so.

This is, you know, I can see why WIS would want to sort of play their cards close

to the vest, right? I mean, it feels like WIS was in a position of power here because Google clearly

wants this company, wanted it back then, wants it now. When the deal was initially announced

last year and ultimately didn't work out, I mean,

there were regulatory concerns, of course, and I think in that regulatory environment,

chances were lower of the deal going through.

But there was also talk of WIS potentially pursuing an IPO as well.

Fast forward to today, they're commanding a nice little premium, and that all feels, I'm sure, a lot better for leadership there.

And thankfully, I mean, let's just on the bright side, at least here, Ricky Google can afford it.

So there's that.

Yeah, Google has about $100 billion in cash on the balance sheet.

This is 32, all cash deal.
