HashiCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCP#NASDAQ">HCP</a>) shares are trading higher in the premarket session on Thursday, while&nbsp;International Business Machines Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>)&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">shares are slumping</a>.
Yesterday, IBM announced that it&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/04/n38415334/ibm-to-acquire-hashicorp-inc-creating-a-comprehensive-end-to-end-hybrid-cloud-platform" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">entered into a definitive agreement</a>&nbsp;to acquire&nbsp;HashiCorp for&nbsp;$35&nbsp;per share in cash, representing an enterprise value of&nbsp;$6.4 billion.

The acquisition will create the opportunity to deliver more comprehensive hybrid and multi-cloud offerings to enterprise clients.&nbsp;This&nbsp;will enhance IBM&#8217;s ability to address the total cloud opportunity, which had a TAM of&nbsp;$1.1 trillion&nbsp;in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate in the high teens through 2027.
The boards of directors of IBM and HashiCorp have both approved the transaction.&nbsp;
&#8220;The global excitement surrounding generative AI has exacerbated these challenges&nbsp;and&nbsp;CIOs and developers are up against dramatic complexity in their tech strategies,&#8221; said&nbsp;Arvind Krishna, IBM chairman and chief executive officer.
It&nbsp;is anticipated&nbsp;that the transaction will&nbsp;be accretive to Adjusted EBITDA within the first full year,&nbsp;post close, and free cash flow in year two.
The acquisition is subject to approval by HashiCorp shareholders. The transaction&nbsp;is expected&nbsp;to close by the end of 2024.
Price Action: IBM shares are trading lower by 8.96% to $167.61 premarket at last check Thursday, while HCP shares are trading higher by 4.7% to $32.90.

Insights From Analysts:
The growth conundrum of whether the economy is going to see a hard or soft landing, has kept investors skewed toward quality stocks, <a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/ideas/thoughts-on-the-market-wilson?subscribed=true&amp;dis=em_2024424_wm_5ideasarticle&amp;et_mid=585156&amp;et_mkid=&amp;sfmc_id=201810710">said </a>Morgan Stanley&#8217;s Chief Equity Strategist Mike Wilson in a podcast. &#8220;The largest risk for stocks more broadly is higher 10-year Treasury yields as investors begin to demand a larger term premium due to higher inflation and the growing supply of bonds to pay for the endless deficits,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Our primary concern for equities at this point is that aggressive fiscal spending has led to better economic growth but it keeps upward pressure on inflation and prevents the Fed from cutting interest rates that many economic participants desperately need at this point.&#8221;
The analyst recommended investors look into under-appreciated sectors. &#8220;This is all in-line with our 2024 outlook that suggests the major equity indices are overvalued while the best opportunities are likely beneath the surface in underappreciated sectors like energy that are positively levered to stickier inflation and higher interest rates.&#8221;
Fund Strat&#8217;s Tom Lee, however, is optimistic. In his weekly commentary, the analyst noted that the S&amp;P 500 and equities rebounded over the past two days, rising more than 2%. &#8220;The S&amp;P 500 closed solidly above the critical 5,019.20 to 5,070.55. In our view, this is confirmation that the worst of this two-week decline is behind us,&#8221; he said.
Upcoming Economic Data:
The Bureau of Economic Analysis is due to release its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/04/38405106/us-economy-expected-to-grow-2-5-in-q1-not-a-hard-landing-and-hardly-a-soft-one"> first-quarter GDP data (advance estimate) </a>at 8:30 a.m. EDT. Economists, on average, expect the economy to have expanded 2.2%, slower than the 3.4% pace in the fourth quarter. Traders may also keep an eye on the GDP price deflator and the price consumption expenditure index to gauge inflation trends.
The Labor Department will release the customary jobless claims data at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits is expected at 215,000 for the week ended April 20, up slightly from 212,000 in the previous week.
The National Association of Realtors is scheduled to release its pending home sales index for March at 10 a.m. EDT, with consensus calling for an unchanged reading following the 1.6% increase in February.
The Treasury will auction four- and eight-week bills at 11:30 a.m. EDT and seven-year notes at 1 p.m. EDT.

In a recent development, Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has reportedly declared that it will not be sponsoring any new U.S. Green Cards for foreign workers for the rest of the year. 
What Happened: Amazon had informed its employees earlier this year about its decision to extend the pause on all new PERM filings through 2024, Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-suspended-us-green-card-applications-foreign-workers-2024-4?IR=T">reported</a> on Wednesday based on an internal announcement. 
The PERM process, managed by the U.S. Department of Labor, is the initial step toward obtaining a Green Card. This process ensures that the entry of foreign workers does not negatively impact job opportunities, wages, and working conditions for U.S. workers.
Amazon first put a halt to PERM applications in 2023. After reviewing &#8220;labor market conditions and immigrant requirements,&#8221; the company decided to continue this suspension until the end of 2024. 
The memo stated, &#8220;It was determined that we are unable to continue with PERM filings through 2024.&#8221;
Amazon has yet to respond to the queries sent by Benzinga.

The recent spate of layoffs at Amazon and other tech companies has made the PERM process more complex, as per Jennifer Gordon, an immigration and labor law professor at Fordham University. These companies now have to demonstrate that the employees who were laid off are not suitable for the jobs meant for foreign workers. They also need to inform those who were laid off in the past six months about job openings before filing PERM applications for foreign workers. 
Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Amazon&#8217;s CFO<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36905570/amazon-layoff-spree-to-continue-despite-record-profits-very-careful-on-our-investments-says-cfo"> hinted at possible further layoffs</a> despite the company&#8217;s financial success. Amazon&#8217;s CEO, Andy Jassy, also expressed a commitment to cost-cutting while investing in artificial intelligence (AI), indicating the possibility of further job cuts. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/04/38224570/amazon-ai-goals-to-impact-jobs-but-data-shows-tech-sector-layoffs-are-in-decline">This move towards AI</a> could impact the workforce as resources are devoted to automation.
According to F. Oliver Yang, a business immigration lawyer, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/general/24/04/38319536/business-immigration-is-vital-for-american-competitiveness-and-innovation-says-industry-expert-f-">business immigration is crucial </a>for American competitiveness and innovation. He advocates for greater public awareness about the economic benefits of immigrant workers and foreign investors.
Price Action: On Wednesday, Amazon&#8217;s stock closed at $172.66, a 2.23% decrease from the previous close of $176.59, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
