The company's operating results were lackluster, but the anticipated merger with SiriusXM is expected to simplify the ownership structure and eliminate potential technical overhangs.

"Both Liberty Media Corp.-Liberty SiriusXM and LKQ Corp. saw poor second-quarter returns, landing both companies on the list of top detractors for the quarter and year-to-date periods.
