Right after the close, Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE: HPQ) did actually confirm in a press release that the company was in advanced acquisition speaks with IT-sourcing giant Electronic Data Systems Corporation (NYSE: EDS). While it noted that there are no assurances that a deal will be reached, Wall Street took it in good stride.
As traders look to the news covering whether or not EDS will become part of H-P, traders were looking at how to get in the news. As a result, there are many other tech and IT-sourcing companies to look at that other potential players might take an interest in.
If we took the mid-point of the pricing at $12.5 Billion we would have a rough share price of $25.00 per share on EDS. At that rough price, you would have a company that analysts expect to be priced at 18.2 times DEC-2008 earnings and 0.55-times revenue estimates.
