As mentioned earlier, Bloomberg is reporting that Infineon (IFNNY) is nearing a buyout of a U.S. semi co for around $2 billion.
- No buyout candidate was named, but it's worth noting that Fairchild Semiconductor (FCS); mkt cap 1.9 bln; is moving higher on the report.
- For those considering possibilities, the current market cap of the potential target may be lower than the $2 bln price range named in the reports, as an acquisition would most likely involve some sort of premium to current prices.
