Nutanix (NASDAQ:NTNX) experienced a 2.5% surge, fueling conjecture about potential takeover interest.

Speculation has arisen regarding takeover interest in Nutanix, spurred in part by a Betaville “uncooked alert.” However, the identity of the potential suitor remains shrouded in mystery.

This speculation follows reports from Bloomberg in November 2022, indicating that Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) had engaged in discussions with Nutanix (NTNX). However, these talks were reported to have cooled off concerning a potential deal by December 2022.

The WSJ reported late Monday that Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) was in advanced talks to acquire the networking company Juniper Networks (JNPR) for approximately $13B. Subsequently, Juniper shares surged by 22% on Tuesday in response to the report.
