BETAVILLE:
Vodafone, the UK-listed telecoms group, has come under the spotlight amid a fresh round of takeover talk.
People following the situation have heard speculation Vodafone is being "looked at" by a mystery predator.
The identity of the potential acquirer interested in Vodafone isn't clear, said some of these people following the situation.
Last year Betaville Intelligence reported Vodafone was at the centre of bid speculation, with analysts suggesting a strategic acquirer, such as Comcast, from the US might be interested in the company.
However, people following the situation suggested this time round the potential acquirer eyeing Vodafone could be European and possibly a financial buyer.
Readers should be aware that Vodafone is currently buying back its own shares, suggesting the compant isn't in "live" takeover talks and that the mystery purchaser has yet to make a formal approach.
To be clear, the above story is UNCOOKED. In case you don't remember I have pasted the definition of UNCOOKED below:
