Why does SIMO need to consider a sale?
Key component in SSDs and they're one of the shortages.
T
Private equity buyout?
Bain? KKR?

Good to hear. Much more official now. Bloomberg reports about takeover interest are almost always correct because they get the news directly from the investment banks doing the negotiations.

As is said in my previous post about an earlier version of this story i have no doubt there will be bidders at this ridiculously low prices. I am just worried they do not give the company away for too little.
