The biggest names in today's deal headlines mostly played out off our page, but Tuesday still delivered. Marsh is buying investment consultant Wilshire from its private-equity owners, and Western Union walked away from Intermex after failing to get acceptable regulatory approvals. Elsewhere, Oura spent $625M on an AI doctor, two multifamily REITs got shareholder sign-off, and H.I.G. bet on German appetite for Asian groceries.
