The Sony shares have increased with almost 3% on the Tokyo stock market, after the appearance of some rumors that said that Apple might be interested in purchasing Sony.
Speculations have been triggered by the appearance of some media information that mentioned Adobe, Sony or Disney as targets of Apple, which might “plan” an important acquisition.
Sony representatives did not commented in the information, classifying them as being rumors and speculations.
Apple has impressive cash reserves, almost 51 billion dollars in cash.
Asked what is he going to do with the mountain of cash he’s sitting on, the General Director of Apple, Steve Jobs, said that ” there is one or two important strategic opportunities in the future”.
Some analysts were skeptical, noting that a full acquisition of Sony is not doable.
” If Apple tries to buy Sony in full, this will be an attempt of a hostile takeover that probably will not succeed in Japan. I don’t think that Apple wants to hook up with Apple, since they are working with Google and thus being Apple rivals” said a Tokyo analyst.
The Sony stock package has increased at some point with 3% on the Tokyo stock market and closed with a lead of 0,7%, on the highest volume since Jul 30, when the group surprised the market announcing that they have ended the second trimester with profit and raised the prognosis regarding the end of the fiscal year.
