Shares of Shift4 Payments slid after it said it would buy Global Blue Group, whose shares have surged close to the proposed deal price.
Shift4 stock was down 14% at $108.11 in early trading, erasing most of its year-to-date gains. Shares of Global Blue, meanwhile, jumped 18% to $7.33.
That's close to the $7.50 per-share price that Shift4 said it would pay for Global Blue, a provider of tax-free shopping services, as the payments processor looks to add more top retailers to its customer list.
Global Blue helps retailers such as Prada, Nike and Ikea manage tax-free shopping transactions, and also gives shoppers currency-conversion and tax-refund services.
Shift4's chief executive and chairman, Taylor Lauber, has been nominated by Donald Trump to serve as the next leader of NASA.
