Surely the deal could have been announced earlier in the week, if they wanted it to. Some other reason caused them to wait to announce it.

You can announce it whenever, but it needed to close within their quarter to be included.

They are saving it for the next quarters.
They will run out of things to sell soon enough, IMHO.
