HP has
confirmed
reports that it is close to buying Electronic Data Systems, a deal that would
dramatically increase its services business.
A note on the firm's web site yesterday reads, "HP today confirmed that it is
engaged in advanced discussions with Electronic Data Systems Corporation
regarding a possible business combination involving the two companies."
EDS concurs on its own site, posting this message, "In response to market
rumors, Electronic Data Systems Corporation announced that it is in advanced
discussions regarding a possible business combination transaction with
Hewlett-Packard Company. The company does not intend to comment further unless
and until a definitive agreement has been entered into."
Should the deal go through it will be the biggest buy for HP since it
acquired Compaq in 2002.
