Nokia Corp. (NYSE: NOK) is popping early Friday morning on questionable rumors it might be a takeover target of Samsung.
Shares are up about 6 percent early.
Rumors of a takeover could not be confirmed.
Following shares dropping from a 52-week high of $7.38 last October, Nokia's current market cap of $10 billion might make it an easy move for Samsung.
UPDATE: In addition to Samsung being named as a possible bidder, traders cite rumors of a $20 billion bid from China's Huawei. In addition, some say partner Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) could make a move.
Again, these rumors are just that "rumors" and likely have little if any merit. Nonetheless they are moving the stock today.
