Hier wird lamentiert, dass es so viele reißerische Schlagzeilen um die Firmenüberbnahme gibt - dann folgt eine kurze Aufzählung und darunter befindet sich auch diese Schlagzeile.
Versteht das jemand?

Constellation im Begriff (oder Willens), das Angebot von "company" zu überbieten
Explanation:
Hi Liff, this is silly, but I googled to get some more info and got so many google hits on the entire phrase (sorry) for "Constellation poised to eclipse Allied bid" that I must ask if this has got sth to do w/ your text. I hope not. But if, then Constellation is a company which is in a bidding process for a merger and serious about bidding some more.

If not, then we can all have a good & hearty laugh :-)

Drumherum kurz davor, das Übernahmeangebot zu überschatten


Explanation:
So verstehe ich das:
"Die Konstellation steht kurz davor, das Übernahmeangebot zu überschatten."
oder
"Angesichts des ganzen Drumherums tritt das eigentliche Übernahmeangebot in den Hintergrund."

düstere Aussichten für das Übernahmeangebot


Explanation:
so würde es vermutlich als Überschrift lauten (ich denke, der Autor hat hier auf Englisch zweimal das Himmelsbild/Sternenbild beschworen, aber wie immer können wir es nicht wörtlich übernehmen. Deshalb dieser etwas freiere Vorschlag.
