Ericsson is unlikely to buy Juniper Network due to price
The Swedish telecom equipment manufacturer Ericsson is unlikely to buy the California - based tech company Juniper Networks, according to Arvopaperi. The Finnish language piece cited a report by the financial analysis company MKM Partners.
The analyst house believes that Juniper would be an expensive purchase for Ericsson with the price estimated USD 12-15bn, twice the company's turnover. Their comments come as many have estimated that Ericsson would acquire Juniper, since the Finnish Nokia acquired the French Alcatel-Lucent, it said.
