The US Justice Department sued to block Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.’s $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks Inc., arguing the tie-up would harm competition in the market for enterprise wireless equipment used by large companies,

The U.S. Justice Department has sued to block tech giant HPE from acquiring Juniper Networks, the networking firm, citing antitrust concerns.

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing to prevent HPE's $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks, saying that the blockbuster deal will “reduce competition and weaken innovation.”

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. representatives met with Donald Trump’s antitrust enforcers on Tuesday over its $14 billion bid to buy Juniper Networks Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.

If the DOJ blocks HPE's acquisition of Juniper Networks, expect a change in the company's capital structure, a UBS analyst says.
