Kodak Seen as Plum Takeover Target

Standard & Poor's Market, Credit and Risk Strategies group this week put out a new analysis of the leveraged buyout market, including a list of 10 public companies that are the most likely targets by private equity firms. Kodak topped the list.

Kodak has in recent years been the subject of takeover rumors as it struggles to transition from a film-based company to one revolving around digital technology and commercial printing. The company's stock price is low by historical standards, closing Friday at $4.85 a share after averaging $26 over the past 10 years.
