The New York Times Dealbook blog made mention of Quiksilver today with the following:
One small deal that may be in the works would be the sale of Quiksilver, a maker of surfer-style clothing, to Nike or another strategic acquirer. Quicksilver [sic] has retained Morgan Stanley to advise on its strategic alternatives.
And seeing as Quik’s stock closed well below the $2 mark again today it could be a good deal, as long as Nike doesn’t mind buying over a billion in debt.
