Napster (NAPS) Sees Interest on Takeover Speculation

July 21, 2008 12:06 PM EDT
Napster (Nasdaq: NAPS) is fractionally higher today (+0.7%) after rising 27% on Friday, following a report from Bloomberg that hedge funds could take over the company, targeting its cash hoard, which, at $69.8 million, is higher than its market capitalization.

Hedge fund Eminence Capital recently boosted its stake in Napster to 9%. In addition, the portfolio manager of Munder Capital, a 6% shareholder, thinks the company may be an attractive target for a buyer like JDS Capital Management Inc., the New York hedge fund that owns digital-music retailer eMusic.com
