Take-Two stock rises 50% in pre-trading

Suddenly that EA offer doesn’t sound so hot. On the back of John Riccitiello making public EA’s intentions to buy Take-Two, the target’s share price has rocketed almost 50 percent to $25.90. EA had bid $26 per share, or approximately $2 billion, for the company.

EA announced its plan to buy the firm last night.

You really couldn’t make it up.
