Walmart to acquire Vizio in $2.3 billion deal

Rumors of the deal emerged last week, and now the retail giant says the acquisition is official and part of a move to boost its ad business.

By bringing our capabilities and resources together, we’ll drive innovation and create even more value for our customers,” says Vizio CEO William Wang.
