I wouldn't have thought so. The share prices of all the banks are down. Nobody wants bank shares. Any increase in share value after a merger would be small and probably short lived.

Well Loyds took over Halifax. First the share price slightly increased. Then droped to the lowest its ever been. Slight recovery then back down again. The market being the way it is does not help either.
